Pramesh Ram – Cafe Tara

I am Pramesh Ram, the proprietor of Café Tara The Gap and Café Tara Strathpine.  My wife, Asha, and I started Café Tara The Gap around four years ago.  We have been using Hollingworth & Spencer since then.

During these years we have found Adam and his team to be extremely professional and dedicated in what they do for their clients.  What particularly touched my heart is the personal touch Hollingworth & Spencer provides.  We clients are not just a number for them; we are who we are and they listen to you from their hearts.  This is what we believe at Café Tara and this is what The Gap is all about.

I have highly recommended our families, friends and customers in the past to use Hollingworth & Spencer, and will be recommending them in the future.

R A of Albany Creek

I used Hollingworth & Spencer for my conveyancing during the purchase of my first house. Susan, Mary and the team made the whole process stress-free, returning calls and emails promptly, providing good advice and coordinating with all parties involved to ensure a smooth purchase. I have since used Hollingworth & Spencer to update my will and enduring power of attorney. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my business.

J H of Cedar Creek

I found Sue far surpassed my expectations.  She has been both proficient and compassionate in dealing with my case.  I would not hesitate in using her services again.

B R & D R of The Gap

We were absolutely delighted with the service we received from all at Hollingworth & Spencer Lawyers. At very short notice Sue was able to redraft our Wills and Enduring Powers of Attorney.  We greatly appreciated her suggestions and professionalism.  We look forward to a long and happy association with Hollingworth & Spencer.

R Brilliant – Cockadoodle Cafe & Espresso Bar, Red Hill

In the past 12 months I have bought and sold 2 businesses as well as bought and sold the family home, so I’ve had great need for my solicitor Ian Portas to manage all my legal requirements with these activities. As the proprietor of a busy cafe, I liken Ian’s legal advice, attention to detail and delightful manner to being as fantastic as taking the first sip of a perfectly made coffee.

BW & FW of Mount Glorious

Just wanted to say a big thank you for the quality of professional service we have received from you and your firm during the sale of our property – from the outset with organising Power of Attorney and continuing while we were overseas and then to settlement. It has made this process so much easier for us and we have appreciated the responsiveness and advice you have offered. We would have no hesitation in using your firm again and would highly recommend to others.

SB & RB of Riverhills

Many thanks for completing my updated Will and new Enduring Power of Attorney … so efficient, very comprehensive and I feel very confident that all the curly issues surrounding our blended family (we have 2 of “his”, 1 of “mine” and 1 of “ours”) have been considered and the best plan of action for the worst-case scenario is in place. Peace of mind 100%, thank you.
