Tim Visser leverages his extensive government experience as a federal prosecutor and senior official at the U.S. Department of Justice to advise clients on white collar defense, government and internal investigations, and sensitive government-facing matters involving multidimensional risk.
Before rejoining Covington, Tim served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, where he led complex, multi-year investigations and prosecutions involving corruption, fraud, bribery, conspiracies, obstruction of justice, false statements, sexual misconduct, election crimes, and civil rights offenses.
Tim also served as Counselor to the Attorney General, where he counseled the Attorney General and senior Justice Department leadership on a broad range of complex and consequential legal, policy, and enforcement matters. Before that, Tim was a Trial Attorney in DOJ’s Civil Rights Division’s Criminal Section. In that role, he led high-profile prosecutions involving official misconduct, hate crimes, and the deprivation of constitutional rights.
Across his distinguished government tenure, Tim tried over a dozen cases to verdict, managed every stage of sensitive and dynamic criminal proceedings in federal districts throughout the country, and coordinated complicated parallel criminal, civil, and administrative investigations by federal and local agencies. Tim also led and organized multifaceted responses to multiple large-scale critical incidents and mass-casualty events, managed several agency-wide initiatives, and prepared principals for congressional hearings.
