About Adrienne Sepaniak
Adrienne Sepaniak King began her legal path in Detroit. She entered the University of Detroit Mercy in 1969 and earned her J.D. in 1972. Those early years shaped a career spent practicing across both state and federal arenas. She has maintained ties to Michigan while expanding to federal appellate work and admissions in other jurisdictions.
Her law school years coincided with a busy era in American legal education. The coursework and clinic placements at Detroit Mercy gave her grounding in courtroom procedure and legal research. That foundation carried over into her practice, where attention to record and procedure matters for appellate work.
King is admitted in Michigan and to practice before the Federal Circuit and the Ninth Circuit. She also holds admission in Hawaii. Those admissions reflect a practice that has reached beyond a single state. They allow her to take appeals and federal matters in multiple forums and to appear before appellate panels when clients require it.
She practices at King & King. The firm listing indicates a continued presence in private practice. Over the years she has worked on matters that required coordination between trial courts and appellate briefs. Handling those transitions requires careful preparation of the record and clarity in argument — skills she has maintained through a long career.
Colleagues describe her as meticulous about appellate filings and about preparing the underlying trial record to support later review. She has navigated cases that move from state courts into federal review, and she has filed briefs in both the Federal Circuit and the Ninth Circuit. That body of work reflects a professional life spent on procedural precision and written advocacy.
Outside the courtroom she has kept active in the practice community. Her admissions across several jurisdictions have meant adapting to differing local rules and standards. That adaptability has been part of her approach to representing clients whose matters require multi-jurisdictional attention.
As of 2026 she continues to practice at King & King, handling appellate and federal work that draws on decades of experience in state and federal courts.
