Foggy and Matt defend Frank Castle, AKA The Punisher, despite the risks to their firm due to Frank's actions. Despite losing the case and the strain from Matt's double life as Daredevil, Foggy's efforts and improvised opening statement earn him recognition. Jeri Hogarth offers him a job at Hogarth, Chao & Benowitz, recommended by Marci. Matt encourages Foggy to accept the offer and move on from Nelson & Murdock, believing he deserves better opportunities.

Since leaving Nelson & Murdock, Foggy has adopted a more corporate appearance with short, slicked-back hair and rekindled his relationship with Marci. He first appears defending Luke Cage at Claire's request. Later, he meets Matt for drinks and delegates some case work to him. Hogarth assigns Foggy to monitor Jessica Jones, which he passes to Matt. When the Hand threatens the Defenders' loved ones, Matt shelters Karen and Foggy with allies until the danger passes. After Elektra's actions lead to Stick's death and Matt's apparent demise, Foggy mourns with Karen and later expresses concern about Matt's dual life, secretly returning his Daredevil suit.

=== Luke Cage (Season 2) ===

==Personality==
Foggy is a fun-loving and sociable man when not doing his job but is shown to be professional when the situation demands it even under extremely stressful circumstances. Foggy is shown to not look down on others with disabilities and wants to help the little guy whenever he can. Noticeably Foggy is the more pragmatic of the duo as while he dislikes it he admits he wants to take cases that will actually pay the bills while Matt is more focused on if the person is truly innocent rather then how much they will get paid. While Foggy disagrees with Daredevil due to him being a vigilante he does recognize the figure as beneficial to Hell's Kitchen and it's citizens safety.
