Bootstrapping Legal Work

I have generally hesitated on relying on bootstrapping legal work when it comes to complex legal work.  However, I have run into more and more entrepreneurs who do just that.

During our recent vacation, we spent one night with our old friends Joe and Nancy Rankin in Cary, NC. 

Joe has successfully navigated the patent process on his own for several products he has developed.  His business, SECTION8 tactical Inc., offers products to assist competitive shooters, tactical officers, and military personnel with their daily operations.

He said that doing your own patent work takes a great deal of time, patience and attention to detail.  But, he insists, it can be done.  For simple products like the ones he offers, this strategy can make sense. 

Here is a link to his product website.
