Chaiken & Chaiken

What Chaiken & Chaiken does

Chaiken & Chaiken, P.C. is a boutique trial litigation firm founded in 1998 by brothers Robert L. Chaiken and Kenneth Chaiken in Plano, Texas. The firm practices in two integrated service lines: catastrophic injury and wrongful death representation for individuals harmed by negligence, and business and real estate litigation for companies and entrepreneurs. It additionally offers crisis prevention and consulting intended to resolve disputes before formal litigation. Robert Chaiken maintains a nationwide trial practice, having appeared in state and federal courts in at least eleven states, and has secured notable results including a $37.5M verdict and a favorable 2025 Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals regulatory taking ruling.

The firm generates revenue under flexible fee structures — contingent, flat, hourly, or customized — for high-stakes matters where trial-readiness is positioned as a settlement-leverage mechanism. Clients include individual catastrophic injury claimants and enterprise entities such as Regions Bank, DM Arbor Court, and national investment and development companies. Service delivery is direct-to-client through a principal office in Plano and affiliated offices across Dallas, Austin, Houston, and San Antonio, with lead generation driven by reputation, referrals, and a News & Insights blog.

Headcount is reported at 1-10 employees following the 2022 retirement of co-founder Kenneth Chaiken, leaving Robert Chaiken as sole principal and President, supported by at least one associate (Carrie Kitner, a former DOJ litigator). The firm is organized as a Texas Professional Corporation, is privately held with no disclosed institutional ownership, and operates without any disclosed technology platform, AI tooling, or external funding.
