About Adam B.
Adam B. King began his academic journey in the University of California system, studying at UC San Diego before completing a B.A. in Linguistics at UC Berkeley in 1982. He returned to the Bay Area for law school and earned his J.D. from the University of California College of the Law, San Francisco in 1986. Those years laid a foundation that would carry him between California and Idaho over the course of his career.
He entered private practice after law school and by 1989 was working as an attorney at Derby, Cook, Quinby & Tweedt. Records show he became a member of the California bar that same year. In 1997 he moved into solo practice and the following year joined the Hawai‘i bar, a membership that remained until 2010. He joined the Idaho bar and its association in 1997 and later spent time at Hawley Troxell Ennis & Hawley LLP beginning in 2000. In 2008 he established his own firm and has served as principal of Adam B. King, Lawyer at Law, PC since then.
King’s organizational involvement traces a steady thread through his professional life. He has been a member of the Idaho Bar Association since 1997 and holds an inactive membership in the California Bar Association from 1989. He joined the American Immigration Lawyers Association in 2003 and retains that membership. The Hawai‘i bar membership is listed as inactive after 2010. These affiliations reflect a career that has crossed state lines and legal specialties.
Throughout his work he has practiced in jurisdictions in both Idaho and California. That geographic range is mirrored in the mix of firm and solo practice: early years in firm settings, a period as a sole practitioner, a return to large-firm practice, and ultimately leadership of his own firm. The path shows a lawyer who has moved between different practice structures and institutional environments.
Colleagues and clients have encountered a lawyer who balances courtroom and office responsibilities. He has handled matters requiring knowledge of federal and state systems and has kept ties to immigration law through his AILA membership. His work in Idaho, combined with his long-standing ties to California, shapes how he approaches cases and client relationships.
As of 2026, he continues to operate his firm, Adam B. King, Lawyer at Law, PC, maintaining an active Idaho license and managing a practice that includes immigration-related matters.
