about Alaska Workers' Compensation lawyer patricia huna

Patricia Huna graduated from the University of Minnesota, Duluth in 1986. She worked as a VISTA volunteer and then in social work before graduating from the University of Minnesota Law School in 1992.  After law school she made a great decision and moved to Alaska. Her first job was clerking for a judge in Kenai.

Patricia began her career in the workers compensation field in the mid-1990’s when she became a hearing officer for the Alaska Workers Compensation Board. In that capacity she received an amazing education in the details of workers compensation law. As a hearing officer, she was able to become comfortable in the hearing process and watch and learn from the great attorneys that appeared in front of her. Because of this background, she is not afraid to go to hearing on a case, therefore, she will not settle a case unless she obtains a great deal for her client. 

After a number of years as a hearing officer, Patricia decided to work on the other side of the table and obtained a job as an employment and labor law attorney for the Municipality of Anchorage. She then became an Administrative Law Judge and managed the office of Administrative Hearing in the Department of Health and Social Services. 

Patricia returned to the workers compensation field in 2010 when she obtained a job at the Alaska Attorney General’s Office, representing the State in workers compensation cases. Working in this capacity was a great experience in learning how adjusters and employers operated. 

Finally, in 2017, Patricia opened her own practice representing injured workers. This has been her favorite job she has ever had. She enjoys interacting with her clients and providing a much needed benefit to the injured worker. 

Patricia enjoys spending time with with family and friends, particularly when they are enjoying the great outdoors in Alaska.  

Patricia is a member in good standing with the Alaska Bar Association: https://alaskabar.org
