About Us

Kenneth was raised in South Florida. He is a graduate of the University of Florida and George Washington University's College of Law in 1988. His practice has been based in Texas for his entire career and he is a member of the State Bar of Texas and the Bar of the District of Columbia. He is authorized to practice in all of the federal districts in Texas, and is a member of the Bars of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and the United States Supreme Court. He has been admitted on a case by case basis in trial and appellate courts throughout the nation. And he is a member of numerous professional organizations including the Dallas Bar Association and the Dallas Bar Foundation.

He began his practice with a concentration on business and commercial litigation, and real estate transactions working with a national law firm and then a mid-size regional firm based in Dallas. . As his practice evolved into a true general civil trial and litigation practice, he decided to leave the traditional law firm environment, and to venture out on his own, eventually forming Chaiken & Chaiken, P.C. with his brothers, both of who are accomplished lawyers.

Kenneth now limits his practice to complex civil litigation matters and crisis management consulting. He represents individuals, families and businesses – large and small. He both files and prosecutes claims for his clients, and defends claims brought against his clients. He has successfully prosecuted and defended clients in cases involving tens of millions of dollars in damages resolving most by settlement and many by trial to juries and judges in Texas and across the country.

In recognition of his creative and aggressive style as a trial lawyer, Kenneth is frequently invited to speak on the topic of trial practice and strategy at attorney seminars throughout the country. He also speaks on crisis management topics and his unique approach to helping clients prevent crises from occurring and responding to them when they do occur, so as to minimize injury and harm to the client’s interests.

Kenneth is a proud father of three grown children and he enjoys traveling, cooking, wine tasting, tennis, boating, fishing, and winter sports during his free time.
