Clients & Testimonials

David Clapp

It is with great pleasure that I write this testimonial for Mr. Charles Hoff. I have been working with Charles now for over four years, and during this time he has provided to me advice, guidance and legal services that have all been of exceptional quality and consistency. Having worked with many different attorneys in the past, the opportunity to build a relationship with someone like Charles has been invaluable in the growth of my businesses. Charles is someone who has the unique ability to listen, understand, advise and create solutions that fit each of the unique situations that we have worked together on. In the hospitality industry, my needs do not fit neatly into “cookie cutter” legal solutions and having an advisor/attorney who very clearly understands the nuances and unique nature of my industry is a luxury that I could never have imagined before I began to work with Charles.

He has proven himself to me repeatedly as a man of great integrity, insight and competence and I look forward to many more years of working together. Please feel encouraged to contact me directly with any specific questions about Charles, as it would be my pleasure to expand on these sentiments.

Sincerely,

David Clapp

Charles Hoff is a true advocate of the foodservice industry and an absolute go- getter, providing top-notch training, counsel, advocacy and support. When the Georgia Restaurant Association (GRA) needed an interim CEO, Charles quickly stepped to the task, digging into the day to day business and helping to set the future course of the organization. In addition to having filled this important leadership role with the GRA, Charles has developed strong history of being a partner to the hospitality industry.

I have had the great pleasure of working with Charles for the past decade in various capacities. Not only has Charles represented our company as legal counsel, I have also had the opportunity to get to know him through our work on the Georgia Restaurant Association board. Charles’ ability to build strategic alliances that cross industry lines has proven to be continually effective and productive.


I continue to be impressed by Charles’ professionalism and the high standards of character he exemplifies. His personal integrity, dedication and passion for the organizations in which he is involved and the clients he represents have earned him the respect and admiration of his peers.

Charles has provided our company with legal counsel in areas of acquisitions, leases, and business and employment practices. His rare blend of analytical skills and business acumen, combined with his demonstrated diligence and perseverance, have been of great benefit. Moreover, Charles’ creative approach to problem-solving has been of particular value both to our franchise and in his role as General Counsel of the Georgia Restaurant Association.

I have had the good fortune to work with Charles Hoff in a professional and personal capacity. When I first involved myself in the Georgia Restaurant Association, Charles served as Counsel to the Association. This professional relationship has grown into a personal relationship as well. As a local restaurant owner he has guided me with legal advice and become a mentor to me during all my entrepreneurial endeavors. I truly appreciate how Charles always gives advice with my best interest at heart. It's rare to find someone who takes a genuine interest in your needs and whom you can trust to be there for you.
