About

Litigation.
Strategy.
Results.

In 1998, brothers Robert and Kenneth Chaiken left the security of big law to build a boutique litigation and crisis consulting firm. Their goal: to deliver top-tier legal services with more flexibility, creativity, and personal attention than traditional firms.

For decades, Chaiken & Chaiken has helped businesses, families, and individuals navigate high-stakes disputes—whether litigating in court, negotiating settlements, or preventing legal crises before they escalate. With experience on both sides of the docket, we bring a strategic, results-driven approach to every case. We prioritize transparency and adaptability with our fee structures—contingent, flat, hourly, or customized. Wherever you need representation, from local courts to nationwide cases, we deliver trusted legal expertise.

In 2022, Kenneth retired, but our commitment to delivering exceptional legal advocacy remains as strong as ever.

What our clients say

“I have known Rob and Ken for a very long time and they have been there for us time and again. This law firm was able to obtain maximum recoveries for me and my family by way of settlement. More importantly, when settlement could not be achieved, they were ready, willing and able to take our case to trial and were able to obtain life altering results for us. These lawyers, along with their staff, are incredible to work with. If you ever have the unfortunate need for a trial lawyer this is the firm that I would call.”

P.F.

“Over 12 years ago, I suffered a catastrophic injury resulting in paralysis and the prospect of any recovery was tenuous at best due to some unusual circumstances. My wife and I turned to Chaiken & Chaiken for help. Their staff were aggressive, creative, and compassionate. They were able to obtain a recovery that has enabled me to get medical care and attention that I have needed along the way.”

B.W. and G.W.

“Good evening Team Chaiken, I did receive the wire transfer, thanks so much. It looks crazy in the account like that, I'm sure the bank is wondering what's happening in my world. If only I wasn't limping as a result. Truly indebted to your efforts on my behalf.”
