Adrienne Sepaniak King was born the oldest of four, in Detroit Michigan.  Her father was an aeronautical engineer and a Professor at the University of Detroit School of Engineering.  Her mother was a businesswoman and homemaker.  Adrienne graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree from the U of D in 1969 with a major in biology and minor in chemistry.  Her mother, whose late brother had been a lawyer in Detroit, suggested she go to law school. There were very few women in law schools at the time, but the tide was slowly turning.. Adrienne was one of only two women who were accepted in the first year class in the fall of 1969. Adrienne found she loved the ideas and problem solving skills inherent in the study of law. She was selected to serve on the law review as Articles Editor, the first woman to do so. She published in the school’s Journal of Urban Law November 1971 issue, an article entitled “Busing,  a Permissible Tool of School Desegregation. She was the first and only woman in her law school to be part of a Law Enforcement Assistance Administration grant to intern for the Wayne County Detroit Prosecutor’s office. She interned there for over a year, notably working under Patricia Boyle who later became a justice on the Michigan Supreme Court.  Her dual science and law background resulted in her being solicited to volunteer intern for Life of the Land, the environmental action group formed in Hawaii soon after President Nixon’s creation of the Environmental Protection Agency.. Adrienne, taking after her adventurous grandparents, all four of whom left their native Poland for the U. S. before WWI, landed in Hawaii in May 1972, two weeks after graduation, not knowing a soul. Taking two bar exams that summer, the first in Hawaii, the second a month later in Michigan, she commenced working (for under $12,000/year), for the Honolulu Prosecutor’s office. She was the third woman hired. Those were exciting times to be working in the Honolulu Prosecutor’s office Adrienne recalls.  Hawaii was a happening place, which had achieved statehood only 13 years before. It was like being in a foreign country that wasn’t, with ideas and people of such variety and promise and energy in sharp contrast to the stagnation of Detroit. Criminally, the  “underworld” in Hawaii was in its heyday, with shootings and killings making front page news every other day, which made coming to work more fun than work. Starting out in traffic court, she was soon trying hundreds of misdemeanor cases, working up to trying over 3 dozen felony jury trials to verdict, with an over 75% conviction rate. She was the first woman in Hawaii to try a murder case. She obtained a conviction as charged. She was the first woman made “team captain” for Circuit Court felony cases with oversight responsibility for dozens of cases of those deputies assigned to work on her team.. She left the Prosecutor’s office in 1976 to work for the City Corporation Counsel’s office. There, she handled more cases than she could count, and took over 2 dozen cases to trial obtaining verdicts in the City’s favor in almost 90% of those cases. She was the first woman to be named Assistant Chief of the Trials Division, when she left in 1985 to go into private practice with her husband, Samuel P. King, Jr.  Except for a brief return to the city as the first, and to this day, the only woman Chief of the Trials Division from 1990-1993, Adrienne and Sam have practiced together as King & King focusing on family law, limited personal injury and criminal defense cases.  She has successfully defended people charged with murder, rape, conspiracy, and theft in state and federal court.

I am a solo-practitioner here to help with Family Law Matters including Divorce, Paternity, Temporary Restraining Orders and the resulting Orders for Protection, Child Support and Enforcement, as well as Pre and Post Nuptial agreements for those trying to stay together and think ahead regarding their finances. I am a local girl, born and raised by a first generation Woman Attorney (Bernice Littman) and a Professor of Classics (Dr. Robert Littman). I am a proud graduate of La Pietra and Univeristy of Hawaii at Manoa including my J.D. from the William S. Richardson School of Law. I have handled hundreds of family law cases with my best grace and wits given the important and heavy subject matter. I have both the life and legal experience to effectively represent my clients with zest and what we Jews like to call Chutzpah. Family Law is a delicate beast and needs to be treated with a level of care as though the Attorney's own life is on the line. These are live cases and I have the wherewithal to treat them as such and assist my Clients to strategize and prepare for the unexpected. I specialize in Military Divorces and when necessary can take a contested, relocation Child Custody Matter to Trial. However, as it takes such an expensive monetary and emotional toll on the Clients to fight over keiki, money, and property, I always attempt and push settlement through discussions and mediation. A Contested Heading at Hawaii Family Court should be a last resort only when all else fails or it is an emergency.

Most clients want to know a little about their lawyer. Here's my story.. I arrived in the Territory of Hawaii in 1959 at the age of three. My dad was an Air Force JAG officer, and after Hawaii we were posted to Washington, D.C., and Sacramento before settling in Honolulu in 1971.. I graduated from Punahou in 1974, the University of Hawaii in 1977, and the University of Santa Clara Law School in 1980. I also hold a master's degree from the U.S. Army War College.. After being admitted to the Hawaii Bar, I was appointed a Deputy Attorney General for the State of Hawaii and spent the next fifteen years in government service. My principal clients were the State's welfare and Medicaid programs, the prisons, and the Child Support Enforcement Agency. My practice included class actions, federal civil rights suits, regulatory enforcement, elder abuse and neglect cases, criminal prosecution, appeals, and legislation. I defended multi-million dollar welfare cases, including one in which I wrote the friend-of-the-court brief for twenty-six states in a successful US Supreme Court appeal. I started the AG's program to bring cases of abuse and neglect of the elderly to Family Court, and drafted the legislation that eventually became Hawaii's Adult Protective Services Act. I shut down unlicensed or substandard day care, retirement homes and youth therapy programs, handled federal court challenges to conditions in our correctional facilities, chased deadbeat dads, and wrote a good deal of the State's child support laws. It was a great job for a young lawyer, and I made the most of it.. In 1995, my good friend Brad Coates offered me a unique opportunity to join the private sector and concentrate in family law. For the next twelve years, I practiced at Coates & Frey, Hawaii's largest family law firm, rising to Senior Counsel. During this time, I handled literally hundreds of divorce cases, and every other type of case known to the Family Court. In 2002, I became the first---and to date, the only---lawyer to be awarded a certificate of specialization in family law by the Hawaii Supreme Court. My certificate was awarded upon completion of a specialty certification program conducted by the National Board of Trial Advocacy, the only organization accredited by the American Bar Association to certify specialists in family law.. Throughout my civilian career in the law, I also served as an Army Reserve officer in various intelligence, command and staff assignments. After the 9/11 attacks, I was called to active duty for about six months here in Hawaii, and my unit was mobilized and deployed to Iraq in 2005-2006. After returning to Hawaii, I retired as a Colonel a few months short of thirty years of commissioned service.. In July 2007, I opened a solo practice, concentrating on divorce and family law. I also handle national security cases involving the revocation or denial of military or industrial security clearances. Over the years, I've been active in various community service organizations, including Volunteer Legal Services Hawaii. I continue to write and speak on issues of defense and national security.. In my free time, I enjoy reading and the beach, and I have a weakness for vintage MG roadsters. I live in Kalihi Valley with my wife of over twenty years and several well-fed cats.
