Biography

Joe King was born and raised in Huntsville, Alabama, and returned to practice law in his hometown after earning his B.S. in biology and J.D. from the University of Alabama, where he studied on a full academic scholarship.

Known for his honesty with clients, King believes in building trust by clearly sharing both the strengths and weaknesses of each case. His straightforward approach has helped him secure numerous verdicts and settlements, including one of Alabama’s largest wrongful death case resolutions in 2011. He’s also served as class counsel in various class actions and mass torts.

Committed to his community, King sits on local nonprofit and church boards and is deeply involved in distracted driving awareness. He helped launch the Morris, King & Hodge Driver Safety Scholarship and leads summer safety programs for teens.
