People v. Raykin.
No. 23PDJ046. 7/3/2024. Opinion Imposing Sanctions.
June 27, 2025
Following a disciplinary hearing, a hearing board publicly censured Igor Raykin (attorney registration number 43081). The Colorado Supreme Court affirmed the hearing board’s decision in an opinion issued on March 24, 2025 (25 CO 12). Raykin’s public censure took effect on April 9, 2025.
In May 2022, Raykin made profane and disparaging comments to school district staff while attending an individual education plan meeting on behalf of his minor client, a student in the school district. Raykin’s comments had no substantial purpose other than to delay, embarrass, or burden the school district staff.
Through this misconduct, Raykin violated Colo. RPC 4.4(a) (in representing a client, a lawyer must not use means that have no substantial purpose other than to embarrass, delay, or burden a third person, or use methods of obtaining evidence that violate the legal rights of such a person).
