Our Clients

Our partners work hand-in-hand with our clients—who are primarily government agencies.

“I find working with Civic Consulting especially satisfying because of the scale of the work. With a government client, you have the power to affect thousands of lives – the $33 million we saved in the first year of City-County collaboration can be put into public safety and save lives.”

— Matt Crowl, Partner, Riley Safer Holmes & Cancila LLP
