About Toppe Consulting

Two Brothers. One Mission.

Toppe Consulting is a family business built on a simple idea: law firms shouldn’t have to choose between affordable and effective.

Founded in 2015 in Greenville, South Carolina, we saw a gap in the market and decided to fill it. Big agencies want big retainers. They chase larger clients and treat small firms like an afterthought. DIY website builders leave attorneys frustrated and stuck with sites that look like everyone else’s.

Today, our team helps solo practitioners and small firms across the country build websites that actually bring in clients, rank higher in local searches, and look as professional as the work they do.

Meet the Founders

Jim Toppe – Founder

Jim brings the business and legal knowledge that makes our work different.

He holds a Master of Science in Management from Clemson University and teaches Business Law and Marketing at Greenville Technical College. That academic background shapes how we approach every project. We understand attorney advertising rules, compliance requirements, and what bar associations will flag.

With over 10 years in digital marketing and experience as publisher of South Carolina Manufacturing, Jim knows how to build websites designs for new and small law firms that convert worried visitors into paying clients. Not just pretty pages. Sites that actually work.

Joe Toppe – Founder & Content Director

Joe runs our content operation. His background speaks for itself.

Managing Editor at PropertyCasualty360. Former Associate Producer and Writer at Fox Business Network in New York. Senior Business Journalist at Capital.com. Managing Editor at Innovation & Tech Today. Master’s Degree in Journalism and Mass Communication from Kent State University.

That’s real newsroom experience. When Joe writes website content or handles public relations for your firm, you get copy from someone who spent years getting stories published at the highest levels.

Real journalism credentials with real SEO experience.

What We Do

Professional Website Development:
Your website should work as hard as you do. We build clean, fast, mobile-friendly sites with content written by our in-house team. Whether you’re launching a new practice or replacing an outdated site, you get a professional online presence that converts visitors into consultations.

Search Engine Optimization:
Being invisible on Google costs you clients every day. Our SEO services focus on local searches where small firms can win. Practice area pages, blog content, and website copy written to match how real people search for legal help in your area.

Google Ads Management:
Sometimes you need cases now, not six months from now. We run Google Ads campaigns that put your firm in front of people actively searching for an attorney today. Start small, scale when results prove it’s working.

Public Relations:
Get your name in front of the right people. Press releases, media interviews, crisis management, community relations, digital PR, and event management. Our content director spent years in real newsrooms, so we know what actually gets published.

Digital Marketing Solutions:
Everything else your firm needs. Social media that stays compliant. Graphic design for logos, business cards, and brochures. Website maintenance that keeps things running. Email marketing, hosting, and firm swag. We handle the details.
