Special Education Consultant or Lawyer for high schooler's IEP

My son has an IEP and is making the transition to high school.  He attends public school in the east bay. We just had a very difficult triennial IEP and I would like to find an educational consultant who can help us find agreement with the district but who will also, frankly, help us get what we want, which is what our son needs. 

I would appreciate any recommendations or pointers.
