Hello, and thanks for taking the time to take a look at my profile. I'm a former teacher and school administrator who had 10 years of experience in public education prior to becoming an attorney. Now, I'm part of a law practice that works in many fields, but my prior specialty is education law. I handle all aspects of education law, including: special education (IEPs and 504 plans), shool discipline, bullying, higher education issues including disputes with collges and universities, and professional licensure.
In my free time, I enjoy traveling, playing music, tennis and spending time with my family, including my two kids.

Expert
I consulted Mr. Raykin regarding a legal matter. Although my case was not his specialty he was incredibly knowledgeable, honest and to the point. He was able to refer me to a colleague and my case was positively handled. Highly recommend.

White collar criminal
This Russian ex-Soviet immigrant has mastered corruption within the so-called "justice system" to pay out big time. He should be living in a federal prison on racketeering charges - and like his fellow henchmen, he employs paid "puffers" to artificially elevate his ratings. Hire him - and you'll mos...

Excellent and Knowledgable
I posted a question on AVVO regarding a vehicle getting towed. It had to do with an HOA, and I knew HOA is a tricky subject because basically, they have more power than the Federal Government (sarcastic, but seemingly true when it comes to the law). Instead of the generic "HOA rules the galaxy, just ...

The best in education law
I had issues with my son's school and need a lawyer. I found Igor and went for a consultation. At that meeting he told me exactally what he thought about my case and told me how many hours he thought it would take to help my son and he was right, no milking for more hours. He was honest and fothcomin...
"Mr. Raykin is widely considered the best education attorney within the Denver legal community. He is polite, friendly, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable. I'd recommend him to any family member or friend in need of legal help within his areas of expertise."
"Igor has proven himself as one of the state's top education lawyers and is a formidable negotiator in all areas of practice."
"I worked as opposing counsel with Igor on a matter representing a financial institution. Igor demonstrated a keen understanding of the legal issues, worked diligently to keep his client's fees reasonable, and was a tough but fair negotiator on settlement. I also found Igor to be trustworthy and would not hesitate to recommend a friend to engage him for legal representation. We need more attorneys like him."
"I endorse this lawyer. Igor embodies the definition of a "professional.". He is knowledgeable, yet a tenacious advocate for his clients."
"Igor brings both professional experience as well as developed legal knowledge to the area of education law. I don't know many lawyers who practice in this area and I consider Igor to be the most knowledgeable and approachable when it comes to both education law and the practice in general. Igor is a very honest and direct attorney who will not use rhetoric and intimidation to drive up a case. He is an attorney who advocates while never losing sight of actually resolving his clients matters. Igor is genuinely a pleasure to interact with. He is an attorney who both clients and fellow lawyers should feel confident in communicating with."
"Igor Raykin takes an aggressive but practical and realistic approach to solving difficult problems. He understands the educational system from his prior career and applies those practical experiences to legal problems in the field in a way that few attorneys are really equipped to duplicate. Education is an area where hiring an attorney with specialized knowledge of the system can make a big difference. I would highly recommend Mr. Raykin for disputes and other matters involving students, schools and universities."
