Background
Patrick A. Huber serves as a Senior Attorney at Romanucci & Blandin, where he focuses his practice on personal injury cases, including sexual abuse, medical malpractice, premises liability, toxic exposure, and other forms of catastrophic injury, with a focus on mass litigation and multi-plaintiff cases.
Pat works closely with Founding Partner Antonio Romanucci to represent victims of mass shootings in landmark litigation across the country. He is part of the team pursuing a lawsuit arising out of the Old National Bank shooting in Louisville against entities involved in the manufacture, distribution, and sale of the firearm used in the attack. He is also leading litigation related to the Club Q mass shooting in Colorado Springs.
In addition, Pat also leads litigation in complex institutional abuse matters, including a case against The Lord’s Ranch involving allegations of decades of abuse. He has also been part of legal teams that achieved a $15 million verdict against a school for failing to protect the student from grooming and repeated sexual abuse by a female teacher; and a $6 million settlement for a medical malpractice wrongful death case.
Pat brings extensive experience to the firm. Most recently, he worked at a large Chicago-based plaintiffs’ firm, representing thousands of individuals in mass arbitration proceedings against some of the country’s most well-resourced companies. Prior to representing plaintiffs, Pat defended companies in consumer finance litigation. These experiences have equipped him with the insight and skill to handle complex, high-stakes litigation.
Pat earned his law degree from Washington University School of Law in St. Louis and his undergraduate degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. After law school, he served as a law clerk to the Honorable Alok Ahuja of the Missouri Court of Appeals in Kansas City and the Honorable Steven L. Tiscione of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York in Brooklyn.
Pat was recognized as an Illinois Super Lawyers Rising Star in 2023 and 2025 for demonstrating outstanding professional achievement and earning a high degree of peer recognition. He has also been named an Emerging Lawyer by Leading Lawyers and included in The Best Lawyers in America®: Ones to Watch.

Notable Cases
$15,000,000 Verdict - Sexual and School Abuse
The civil jury found the defendant, the Board of Education of J. Sterling Morton High School District 201, liable for willful and wanton conduct in failing to protect the student from grooming and repeated sexual abuse by a female teacher and awarded the Plaintiff $15 million.
$6,000,000 Settlement - Medical Malpractice Wrongful Death
Assisted Partner Joseph E. Kolar in obtaining a $6 million settlement for a patient who died at a Chicago-area hospital. The patient died less than a week after heart surgery. The patient’s family alleged that the heart surgery was unnecessarily delayed for more than three months. The three-month delay, according to Kolar, led to the patient declining from stable condition to cardiogenic shock before the surgery.
