Before becoming a judge on the Court of Appeals, Huff practiced law for nearly 35 years. He began his legal career as a clerk (1976-77) for Chief Judge Richard B.

He has handled high profile cases and has tried scores of jury trials to verdict.

For many years, Huff has been A-V rated, and has received recognition from Best Lawyers in America, Virginia Legal Elite, and Super Lawyers. His bar admissions have included the Virginia State Bar, North Carolina State Bar, U.S. Court of Federal Claims, U.S. Supreme Court, Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the U.S. District Courts in Virginia and North Carolina.

In the late 1990s, Huff founded an internet arbitration company. He has authored multiple legal articles and publications and has lectured on topics such as Arbitration, Cross-Examination, Effective Use of Paralegals, and Document Utilization. Huff has served as a faculty member for the Harry L. Carrico Professionalism Course, and as an adjunct professor at William & Mary Law School where he taught Professional Responsibility.
