About Kenneth Chike
Kenneth Chike Odiwe trained first as an English major and then as a lawyer. He earned a B.A. in English from St. John’s University and went on to study law at Golden Gate University School of Law, where he completed his J.D. Studies at Golden Gate included coursework and a certification in litigation. That program shaped his early courtroom skills and provided practical training in trial procedures, evidence and motion practice.
After law school he moved into practice in California. In 2022 he joined Burris Nisenbaum Curry & Lacy, LLP as a lawyer. The record lists his role there in that year, where he worked on matters handled by the firm. He is licensed to practice law in California and has applied his academic training to the work he did at the firm.
Odiwe’s litigation certification from Golden Gate University is a formal part of his background. It reflects classroom instruction and hands-on exercises intended to prepare lawyers for adversarial proceedings. At Burris, Nisenbaum, Curry & Lacy he engaged in litigation-related tasks, drafting pleadings, preparing discovery materials and participating in case strategy sessions. He has remained active in professional circles and holds current membership in at least one bar-related or legal association.
Colleagues describe him as someone who combines a humanities undergraduate education with legal training. His English degree informs how he assesses written arguments and edits briefs. That skill set is visible in how he organizes case files and presents legal analysis. He has not been listed with public awards or elected bar posts in available records, and his public profile centers on his work at the firm and his litigation training.
He continues to practice at Burris, Nisenbaum, Curry & Lacy. His work today is concentrated on litigation matters in California, applying the litigation training he completed at Golden Gate and the legal practice experience he gained after law school.
