I mean, he's always leaving early to go be DD. Yeah, how would Matt even know? I mean, he’s always leaving early to go be DD.

It seems that Foggy has always handled most of the paperwork. Of course, there's a lot of it Matt shouldn't be able to do so I guess he had a good excuse before Foggy knew about his being Daredevil (heck, even with the heightened senses it would still be easier for Foggy). But Matt is definitely portrayed as the charismatic genius that saves the day. Though I like how Foggy is growing as a character and becoming every bit the professional we always knew he was, even back when he was the hapless victim of Matt's erratic behavior.

I'm not in the legal profession but I believe you do need to work a lot of hours to keep all the balls juggling, so to speak. In the early issues, Matt's always taking afternoons off, despite being seen as a genius by others in the profession. But isn't that the way with genii? The less talented guy grinds away, gets the boring paperwork done, then the charismatic partner steps in and takes the glory. That's the way I've always pictured Matt and Foggy's legal dealings operating. This is a great point, in my opinion.

But how can he tell for sure? he may have supersenses, but knowing what Foggy is doing when he's not there implies an almighty-like type of all-knowing power!<br /><br />I'll say Matt's the brilliantest lawyer of the two without doubt, but as who's been coping with the daily grind at the firm, and paying the bills with non-famous cases, I'd go with Foggy! And, after all these years, what Franklin didn't have originally has certainly gained through hard work and experience: by now he could perfectly afford flying solo, professionally speaking.
