Jackie Chiles is a fictional attorney portrayed by American actor Phil Morris.
The Chiles character, obviously a parody of famed African American attorney Johnnie Cochran, began on the renowned NBC television series Seinfeld. After appearing in several episodes during the series' later years, Chiles, along with many other minor characters from the show's past, appears again in the program's finale, and is crucial in getting the characters convicted on charges of "wanton indifference". The character's catch phrase is "I am outraged!" Some have commented that the real-world personna of attorney Cochran is so flamboyant that Morris had to do little more than mimic him directly in order to have a successful character who is in reality more impersonation than caricature.
Since the end of Seinfeld, the character has appeared in a series of television commercials.
Jackie Chiles represented Kramer in three different episodes. In one episode, Kramer snuck a cafe latte into a movie theatre. As he climbed over another person to get to his seat, the latte spilled on Kramer and burned him. The maestro gave Kramer a balm which cured the burn. The coffee company offered a settlement of a tiny amount of money and a lifetime of free lattes and Kramer took the offer before the executive finished speaking. Which resulted in a settlement of a lifetime of free lattes with no monetary gains, much to Jackie's chagrin. Kramer's face aged prematurely when he turned his apartment into a smoking lounge. Jackie promised to get rich off Kramer's gross disfigurement, but Kramer settled the case for a Marlboro-man style billboard featuring Kramer's face. Jackie also sued O'Henry candy bar heiress Sue Ellen Mishky for walking the streets of New York in a Bra and causing Kramer to wreck George Costanza's car. He described her actions as "lewd, lascivious, salacious, outrageous!"
Jackie represented George, Elaine, Jerry, and Kramer in the final episode, when they violated the Good Samaritan Law.
