Revealing his identity in court: To protect himself from blackmail, Matt has to prove in court that he is Daredevil, effectively removing any advantage his secret identity may have given him. Embracing the benefits: Moving to San Francisco, Daredevil fully embraces his exposed identity, enjoying the celebrity status it brings and using it to his advantage in defending his clients as a well-known superhero.

He instead began openly acting as Daredevil in public, even defending his clients under his superhero moniker.
