The character began as Cosmo Kramer's lawyer on Seinfeld. Chiles is a parody of famed attorney Johnnie Cochran; both are bespectacled, mustachioed, African-American lawyers with similar names and penchants for grandiose vocabulary.

Chiles represents Kramer in four different episodes, and appears in one other: Cosmo Kramer is a fictional character on the American television sitcom Seinfeld (1989–1998), played by Michael Richards. ...

• In the first episode with Chiles ("The Maestro"), Kramer sneaks a cafe latte into a movie theatre and burns himself while trying to climb over the legs of another patron. The coffee company offers a settlement: a lifetime of free coffee at all of their stores throughout North America and Europe and $50,000 in cash; Kramer takes the offer of free coffee before the executive finishes speaking and mentions the cash.

• In the second episode featuring Chiles ("The Caddy"), Jackie sues Oh Henry! candy bar heiress Sue Ellen Mischke for allegedly causing Kramer personal injury due to an automobile accident. Kramer is distracted while driving when he sees Mischke walking the streets of New York City wearing only a bra. Chiles describes her actions as "lewd, lascivious, salacious, outrageous!" The lawsuit fails when Kramer demands she try on the bra to prove it is hers. It fails to fit because she tries putting it on over a leotard. Jackie yells at Kramer, "Of course a bra's not going to fit on over a leotard. A bra's got to fit right up against a person's skin...like a glove!" — an obvious parody of the O.J. Simpson murder case.

• In the third episode featuring Chiles ("The Friars Club"), *When Kramer's experiment with "Da Vinci sleep" causes him to fall asleep during sex, his Italian girlfriend thinks he has died and gets some friends to dump him in the river. When he comes to, Kramer accuses her of trying to murder him. The woman calls Chiles, who is her regular lawyer. Upon hearing that Kramer is involved, however, Chiles declares "I don't want nothing to do with it!"

• In the fourth episode featuring Chiles ("The Abstinence"), Kramer's face ages prematurely when he turns his apartment into a smoking lounge. Kramer then consults with Jackie about filing suit against the tobacco companies for his disfigurement. When Kramer asks if Jackie feels they have a case, his reply is "Your face is my case." Jackie and Kramer then meet with a tobacco-company lawyer where Jackie tells her "By the time this case gets to court, he'll be nothing but a shrunken head." After the tobacco-company lawyer tells them she'll have an offer to settle out of court in the morning, Jackie tells Kramer, "Jackie's cashing in on your wretched disfigurement." Kramer settles the case without Jackie's knowledge for a Marlboro-man style billboard in Times Square featuring his own face. Jackie dubs this "the most public yet of my many humiliations."

• Jackie represents George, Elaine, Jerry and Kramer in the final episode, when they violate the Good Samaritan law. Despite losing the case, he gets some satisfaction in sleeping with Sidra (from "The Implant"), which would have been more satisfying if the jury didn't get to their decision so quickly. His last line of the series is the same as Sidra's line about her breasts from the aforementioned episode: "And by the way: They're real, and they're spectacular".
