IAN COLLINS co-founded Collins & McVean with Rachel L. McVean in 2026 after having worked at Reese, Smalley, Wiseman & Schweitzer, a long-time Redding law firm, and as a trial attorney for the Shasta County Public Defender’s Office. There, Ian\u2019s practice included litigating complex civil and probate matters as well as defending individuals in criminal jury trials. Ian\u2019s practice focuses primarily on criminal defense where his extensive courtroom experience allows him to provide quality service to his clients. Ian also volunteers his time to help children in the juvenile justice system. Ian is a Shasta County native and enjoys getting outdoors to backpack, hike, and kayak on our beautiful trails and lakes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
