Bob and his wife Judy returned to Monterey in 1976 where he went on to practice law for 48 years. Although initially setting up a general practice in association with well known local attorneys Elwood Wilson and John Shepherd, for many years now he has been a sole practitioner concentrating on estate planning, wills and trusts, probate and the formation and guiding of non-profit organizations. In this later context he is privileged to be associated with and represents many local Christian ministries and number of local churches as well as international non-profits assisting the needy around the world. The Williams' have found great joy in being privileged to volunteer their time serving alongside a number of foreign missionaries in various countries in far flung corners of the world. They are active members of a local church. Bob is a member of the California Bar Association, the Christian Legal Society and currently serves on several boards of directors of local non-profits and attorney adviser to many others. Bob and Judy (who was chair of Child Evangelism Fellowship, Monterey County Chapter for the last 8 years) were married in 1974 and have two children and a daughter-in-law of whom they are immensely proud, Dr. and Mrs. (Alex) Joshua Williams (psychologist - 5th grade teacher) and daughter Grace who founded and is President of a non-profit organization in San Diego serving victims of human trafficking.
