GROWING VOLUSIA LAW FIRM EXPANDS WEST…TO OFFICE BUILDING NEXT DOOR

PORT ORANGE – The personal-injury law firm of Rue & Ziffra, P.A. recently moved about one-half of its staff into a 6,000-square-foot office building adjacent to its original office at 623 Dunlawton Ave.

The two-story building on 1½ acres at 640 Dunlawton Ave., was purchased late last year for $600,000 from the Sunshine State Community Bank, according to firm President Allan L. Ziffra.

Ziffra said he had planned to build a new office because his staff of 40 was so crammed into their existing 7,000-square-foot building. But, he changed his mind when the 26-year-old former medical/real estate building next door became available through foreclosure.

“We renovated the building to add two additional conference rooms and accommodate about 24 people in four departments: Social Security, worker’s compensation, medical malpractice and litigation,” Ziffra said.

In addition to giving the staff more breathing space, Ziffra said the expansion also will provide attorneys and other staff members more privacy when meeting with their clients.

The building is the third office operated by the 25-year-old Port Orange-based law firm, as they opened an Orange City office at 2790 Enterprise Road in February of 2009.

Poker Run Sponsored By Volusia County Law Firm Raises Nearly $5,000 For Local Mom Diagnosed With Cancer

PONCE INLET – More than 100 motorcycle enthusiasts participated in a recent poker run sponsored by the law firm of Rue & Ziffra as a fundraiser for a mother of two who was diagnosed with brain cancer.

The event – which kicked off Aug. 14 at the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse and included a classic car show and a barbecue dinner – raised $4,500 for the family of Lorraine Metakes of Port Orange.

Robin Fenwick, one of four organizers of the fundraiser, said 137 hands of poker were sold to motorcycle drivers, their passengers and others who participated in cars.

“We never expected to be able to give the family this much help with their expenses,” she said.

“When we started out, we thought we’d be lucky to make $500.”

Fenwick said more than $1,000 was from raffle tickets for donated items. The rest came from the sale of poker hands, food, T-shirts and from other donations.

“We know that we couldn’t have done it without the help of Rue & Ziffra,” she added. “After they got the word out in the newspapers and on the radio, my phone was ringing off the hook about the ride.”

Rue & Ziffra Firm to Sponsor Float in Port Orange Christmas Parade and Serve as Drop-off for Toys for Tots

PORT ORANGE – In addition to marching bands, clowns and cheerleaders, this year’s Port Orange Christmas Parade from 2 to 4 p.m. Dec. 6 will feature a float sponsored by the law firm of Rue & Ziffra.

With the theme of “Christmas Around the World” the parade is sure to get the thousands of onlookers who wait patiently along Dunlawton Boulevard each year into the holiday spirit, according to Shane Snipes, the firm’s promotions/advertising director.

The Rue & Ziffra float will feature 10 employees who also helped build the entry. It will join more than 30 other floats, as well as members of community groups, churches, local clubs, schools and businesses who participate in the annual event.

The float, which will include a collection box for toys donated to Toys for Tots, will pass in front of Rue & Ziffra’s Port Orange office on Dunlawton, where other employees will be busy cooking and serving free hot dogs, hamburgers and other foods.
Toys for Tots collection boxes also are set up at the firm’s offices in Port Orange and Orange City, Snipes said.

Last year, the firm collected enough toys for the program to fill three full-size trucks, he said. This year, they hope to exceed that amount.

Volusia County Law Firm of Rue & Ziffra Sponsors Benefit “Ride Like an Eagle” Motorcycle Tour through Seminole/Orange Counties

SANFORD - The highways and by-ways of Central Florida will be filled with the sounds of motorcycles next Sunday 11-15 as bikers from far and near participate in the “Ride Like an Eagle” bike run to benefit a local charity that helps support overseas military personnel.

Presented by SUNNY Radio 105.9, the run is a benefit for Operation ShoeBox, a charitable organization that sends support, snacks and personal care items to American troops deployed outside of the United States, according to Shane Snipescq, Promotions/Advertising Director for the Port Orange-based law firm of Rue & Ziffra, sponsors of the event.

The run will begin at the Seminole Harley-Davidson in Sanford and end at the Steve Miller Band / George Thorogood Show at the University of Central Florida in Orlando with a percentage of the $25 entry fees being donated to Operation ShoeBox, Snipes said.

“The run is already sold out, but donations are still being accepted,” he said. “Operation ShoeBox encourages everyone to make a tax-deductible donation or take the time to send their own care package to our troops.”
