Since his knowledge of the law was outdated, he became a bounty hunter.
Matt Murdock is Marvel's most famous attorney
Matt Murdock lost his sight and his father at a really young age. But these losses gave him two things; other enhanced senses, and the purpose to fight crimes in the honor of his father.
