Following two years of service in the Army during the late 1960’s, he practiced with Pine Tree Legal Assistance until 1976, devoting the majority of his efforts to welfare and civil rights litigation in both state and federal courts. Since 1977, the majority of his work has been in the fields of intellectual property, compliance & defense work business clients, and probate litigation. Bob has argued cases in state and federal courts at both the trial and appellate level in Maine and elsewhere. He participated in two cases before the United States Supreme Court.

He has worked on two different committees of the Maine State Bar Association that were actively involved in the drafting of new comprehensive statutes governing administrative procedure and post-judgment enforcement.
