About Peter
Peter Fisher built his path to the law in California and Arizona. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Business Economics from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2004, then moved to Tucson to study at the James E. Rogers College of Law at the University of Arizona, receiving his Juris Doctor in 2009. Those years on the West Coast and in the Southwest framed his early legal training and his courtroom orientation.
While still in law school, Fisher worked in public defense and in the state courts. In 2008 he served as a Certified Student Lawyer at the Tucson City Public Defender's Office and also clerked for the Pima County Superior Court. Those roles exposed him to criminal procedure and trial practice at the ground level. After law school he joined Curtis Legal Group as a lawyer in 2009, settling into private practice in California.
Fisher is admitted to practice in California and in two federal districts: the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California and the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. He maintains memberships in several regional bar and trial organizations, including the Sacramento County, San Joaquin County and Capital City trial associations, and Consumer Lawyers of California. He has also been active in local programs that introduce young people to the legal process; he has served as a volunteer judge for Stanislaus County Youth Court since 2010 and as a volunteer judge for the National Ethics Trial Competition since 2016.
The arc of his career shows a move from public service roles into sustained trial work. Early courtroom exposure as a student lawyer and clerk informed his approach at the firm. Colleagues and peers have encountered him in bar association activities across multiple counties. His steady participation in county bar groups reflects a professional focus on litigation and the mechanics of trial practice rather than on transactional work.
In his current role at Curtis Legal Group, Fisher represents clients in matters that proceed in both state and federal forums. He works in Sacramento-area courts and handles cases that require work before district courts in the Northern and Eastern districts of California. He continues to participate in legal education and volunteer judging, and he takes on litigation that brings contested matters to trial. He currently practices at Curtis Legal Group, handling litigation matters in California state and federal courts.
