Joseph Benini was a small-town engineer with an idea about bullets. He never expected to find a big-city patent lawyer who would immediately grasp his concept — for a lead-free bullet that wouldn’t ricochet — let alone become his friend.

(population 6,000) to meet with Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner partner Stephen Peterson.
