As an officer in JAG he proudly represented his country and tried many cases early in his career.

Upon discharge he worked for a San Francisco law firm representing private clients and obtained favorable settlements and verdicts during that time.
After more than ten years in private practice, Chuck returned to public service taking a position at the San Luis Obispo County Superior Court where he worked as a research attorney. Chuck was well respected by the judges there and was promoted to a full-time judge pro-tempore position for five years. During this time, he presided over the civil law and motion calendar and issued several decisions that were later affirmed upon review by the California Court of Appeals. In 1995, Chuck was nominated by Governor Pete Wilson for an appointment to an open judge seat on the Superior Court. Although, his appointment was not finalized, he continued to work for the Superior Court until 2012.
Upon leaving the Superior Court, Chuck joined his son, Charles Tony Piccuta (Founder of Scottsdale Injury Lawyers, LLC), in private practice.
