About Oneida N.
Oneida N. Huntington earned her law degree from the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law in 2016 after completing her undergraduate studies at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in 2013. She entered law school on the heels of several public-service roles and internships. Those early experiences shaped her approach to client work and to courtroom procedure.
Her legal path began in support roles while she was still a student. In 2012 she worked as a legal intern for Christopher Tuck, Lawyer at Law, P.C., and served as a victim-witness advocate at the Women’s Resource Center. She moved into law clerk positions in 2014 at the Law Office of Anthony C. Onwuanibe and again in 2015 at Maryland Legal Aid. That same year she represented students on the board of directors for the FreeState Legal Project, a role that exposed her to nonprofit governance and public-interest litigation issues.
In 2016 Huntington spent time both clerking and learning the mechanics of private practice. She was a law clerk for John S. Huntington, Lawyer at Law, and took an externship with the Maryland Access to Justice Commission. Those placements combined client intake, case research and courtroom observation. They also offered a bridge from academic study to the day-to-day responsibilities of practicing lawyers.
The following year she began practicing as an attorney at Huntington, Huntington & Huntington, PLLC. Her résumé reflects steady movement between public-interest work and private practice. The early years included contact with clients who faced economic and social barriers to legal services. She also handled matters where mediation and dispute resolution were appropriate, which informed her decision to pursue formal mediator training.
Huntington is admitted to practice in Virginia and is a mediator certified by the Supreme Court of Virginia. Her background includes work at legal aid organizations and offices that serve crime victims, and those experiences inform how she approaches negotiations and client counseling. Colleagues note that she balances courtroom preparation with efforts to resolve disputes outside of litigation when circumstances allow.
She continues to practice in Virginia and serves as a certified mediator through the state’s highest court. Her current practice focuses on representing clients in matters that benefit from both litigation experience and alternative dispute resolution.
