Pletcher, Weinig & Fisher

	Email: peter@akinsurancedefense.com Background and Experience In 1979, during my second year of law school, I came to Alaska as a legal intern for the Municipality of Anchorage. Upon graduation, I served as law clerk to the Honorable Brian C. Shortell, Judge of the Superior Court. In 1981, I founded my own firm, emphasizing commercial litigation, debtor/creditor relations and bankruptcy. I have acted as both bankruptcy examiner and trustee. In 1991, I was lead counsel in Alaska's first bankruptcy "mega case", the successful chapter eleven reorganization of an Alaska Native Regional Corporation. In 1996, I joined Chugach Alaska Corporation as its general counsel, a position I held for four years until returning to private practice.
