and his siblings also came to him for legal advice when they found out William had embezzled money from the company pension fund. Kevin, used to this role, offered few complaints, and seemed uninterested in a romantic relationship. While working on a case, Kevin interviewed a key witness, Scotty Wandell (Luke Macfarlane).
