“I know how to turn an arbitration into a judgment,” says Kenneth Chaiken. As proof, just look at the $1.48 million he helped win for his client in Volanda Woods v. P.A.M. Transport Inc.
Chaiken says he joined the plaintiff’s legal team to help protect the underlying arbitration award at the U.S. District Court and later at the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. When a plaintiff wins a big arbitration award, ensuing litigation is nearly inevitable, and “[g]iven the numbers in this case, you knew there was going to be an attack,” he says.
