Matt Murdock's first case as a lawyer is defending Karen Page, after she has been framed for murder. When Karen's released on bail, she returns to her home to retrieve the information that can clear her name. She is attacked, but a masked man intervenes to save her life. The masked man releases the information to the press, clearing Karen's name. 
After she is saved by the vigilante soon to be known as the Devil of Hell's Kitchen, Karen begins working with Matt and Foggy at their small law firm. They begin dating in season 2, but Karen is still unaware that Matt is the Daredevil and Karen has several secrets of her own. The arrival of Elektra Natchios, Matt's ex-girlfriend, only pushes the new couple further apart. Karen realises that Matt is keeping secrets from her. She soon leaves the law firm to begin working as a reporter with The New York Bulletin. At the end of season 2, Matt tells Karen that he is Daredevil.

===Fics===
* Snapshot by pumkinteacup, The sight is all too adorable to take in and she wants to take a photo. She regrets it the instant her phone makes the loud shutter sound cameras usually do. Her face burns as Matt’s movements pause, his face nothing but confusion and concern. “What was that?” he asks. “Nothing,” she lies.
* Darkest Before the Dawn by latbfan, The missing scene from Matt's apartment at the end of "Into the Ring" (1.1) after Karen sneaks out and meets up with Daredevil at her apartment. (Pre-Shippy)
* Alternative Dispute Resolution by livingvakariouslythroughyou (supercow585), My take on what happens between Matt & Karen after the blackout at the end of season 2. A reconciliation fic in which Matt apologizes, Karen processes, and they decide try to work things out.
* who all night long unwearied sing by missleemoore, Pop, crack, that god-awful high-pitched whine every five seconds… He's screaming. Matt really, really hates the fourth of July. Hurt Comfort
* Could we start again please? by BecauseImClassy, Post-Defenders. Karen is trying to resign herself to the fact that Matt is gone, until she receives some shocking news.
