Queens squatter’s lawyer promises big ‘revelation,’ claims new homeowners are not ‘victims’
NY Post
The attorney for Queens squatter Brett Flores, who is refusing to leave a couple’s $2 million dream mansion, promised a forthcoming “revelation” that would flip the script on the unwanted tenant.
Lawyer Dennis J. O’Sullivan came to the defense of Flores Friday, telling The Post his client is navigating “his own personal issues” and is taking care of his ailing infant.
“We are going to issue a revelation that is going to turn that narrative on its head and the current homeowner is not a victim,” O’Sullivan said, declining to elaborate.
Flores, 32, has claimed that he had an agreement with the Douglaston home’s former owner, who died in January 2023, to remain at the property. And he has for months since it was purchased by Susana and Joseph Landa in Oct. 2023.
The couple, who has still not entered the house, even hired a celebrity security guard to watch over the home until the situation is resolved.
Flores was the 24-hour live-in caretaker of the former homeowner, Bernie, O’Sullivan said. Court documents show the squatter was paid $3,000 per week.
