From 1835 to 1837 he was a prosecuting attorney; he served as a circuit court judge from 1840 to 1843, in which year he was made an associate justice of the Arkansas Supreme Court.

Upon his ejection from the Senate, Sebastian returned to Helena, where he lived for the duration of the Civil War and practiced law.
