After a 20-year career as a prosecutor for the Department of Justice's Antitrust Division, Deana Timberlake-Wiley has joined former DOJ colleague Bill Dillon as a partner at his white-collar boutique, Dillon Law Group.

“Deana and I were co-counsel on a host of cases during the last 10 years of her tenure,” Dillon said. “She is the best trial lawyer I've worked with during my 25 years at the DOJ.”

The two worked together on what Dillon said was the largest-ever public corruption case in the Eleventh Circuit. Dillon was the lead attorney for the massive DOJ investigation starting in 2005 into bribery over a $3.2 billion sewer contract in Jefferson County, Alabama, that led to the convictions of 21 people and five companies, including four county commissioners. Sixteen people went to prison, and the DOJ levied $45.7 million in criminal fines. Dillon and Timberlake-Wiley each won two DOJ awards for their work on the case.
