Gene A Hoff

Gene has worked on several contract agreements for me over the years. I have found his advice to be both helpful and practical. He takes the time to explain things clearly with a common sense approach.

Gene Hoff is a savvy, professional attorney, particularly in the area of manufacturers’ representative law. Gene is known for helping reps to negotiate fair contracts with manufacturers they are going to represent and to collect commissions from manufacturers that have chosen not to pay reps according to the terms of those rep agreements. Gene’s knowledge of Minnesota commission protection acts is especially impressive, in part because he played a role with the Minnesota legislature to help write new protections for reps into Minnesota law.

Hoff Law has been a trusted resource for several years working on contract reviews and helping establish solid agreements with the companies for which we sell. Recently we needed help on a contract termination disagreement and our relationship with Gene Hoff was extremely beneficial to our case. His intimate knowledge of Minnesota Independent Sales Representative law, ability to communicate well and general business savvy was invaluable for our small business to win our claim against a much larger company. We hope to never go through this process again, but if we do our first call will be to Gene at Hoff Law, LLC. His guidance and expertise were truly appreciated.

I called Gene about an intractable issue I was facing with a tenacious customer that was causing me to lose sleep, and I really needed to consider my legal options. He talked me through the advantages and disadvantages of several courses of action, asked good questions, and throughout showed not only keen knowledge of the law and business standards but also a sincere sympathy for my situation. In the end my conversation with Gene reaffirmed the course of action I'd been leaning toward, and though the process has not yet reached its conclusion, I'm confident that with Gene's help I took the appropriate course of action, and happy to report I'm sleeping much more peacefully. Outstanding. Much gratitude.

Our Factory Representative Agency has been working with Gene Hoff to help resolve compensation issues with a principal along with contract development and negotiation with new principals. Gene's legal knowledge and professionalism are amazing. We knew we were in good hands working with Gene, and the results have proven this. We will continue to work with Gene Hoff and Hoff Law.

Gene has been instrumental in initiating successful efforts before the Minnesota state legislature that have resulted in greater protection for small business manufacturers' representatives like me. He is focused and fair.

I have been working with Gene for almost two years. He knows what he's doing and shows in the details. I absolutely trust and enjoy working with Gene.

Gene has been wonderful whenever we have had a dispute about commissions with a vendor. He understands the laws and how we can benefit, but he also balances the investment in time, money, and stress. He has successfully negotiated resolutions in multiple cases for our group!

I have owned my Manufacturers Rep firm for 20+ years. Early on, Gene helped me develop contracts with my Principals, and more recently, provided me with legal services as disagreements arose regarding interpretation of expiring contracts. Gene is extremely knowledgeable of governing law, quick to understand the details of my specific situations, and he worked relentlessly to resolve the disagreements in an expeditious manner. I have always found Gene to be professional, honest, responsive, and a bulldog when need be. Gene has provided me with extremely valuable legal services at a fair price. Best of all, I consider Gene to be a good friend.

Attention to fine detail, good judgment, excellent communication & follow-through skills are key attributes that make Gene Hoff stand out from the pack. I was able to count on his perseverance to get the job done. His straight forward and down to earth manner put me at ease.
