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.

New Hire at Rue & Ziffra Makes the Port Orange-Based Law Firm the 3rd Largest in the Area in Number of Attorneys
PORT ORANGE – Attorney Robert A. Wohn III – a recent honors graduate of the University of Florida, Levin College of Law – has joined the personal-injury law firm of Rue & Ziffra.
The addition of Wohn brings the number of attorneys at the firm to nine, according to a survey by the Volusia/Flagler Business Report.
Wohn, a member of the Florida Bar, graduated cum laude when receiving his law degree from UF in Gainesville, and magna cum laude when receiving his business administration degree from Stetson University in DeLand.
The Cocoa Beach native brings a wealth of knowledge to the firm, including the Spanish language experience he gained while an undergraduate, and through his participation in UF’s legal interpretation and document translation programs, according to Allan L. Ziffra, president of the 25-year-old firm.
“We’re very fortunate to have Robert join us,” Ziffra said. “He’s extremely knowledgeable in many areas and has garnered extensive experience having completed several internships including stints with the state attorney’s office and the 18th Judicial Circuit Court in Brevard County.”
Wohn was a member of UF’s Journal of Technology Law and Policy, and the Entertainment Law Review. He also served as a volunteer for the Restoration of Civil Rights Project at the school’s Virgil Hawkins Civil Clinic, and was the UF representative for the Florida Bar Young Lawyers Division’s Board of Governors.

Personal Financial Advice that’s Critical: Take Charge of Your Own Funds, Learn How to Analyze Investments, says Glen Mather
Personal Financial Advice that’s Critical: Take Charge of Your Own Funds, Learn How to Analyze Investments, says Glen Mather, head of Entrust Administrative Services
ORLANDO, Fla. - Whether you’re 35 or 60, three things are certain in today’s economic climate: things aren’t the way they once were, you can’t trust anyone to manage your savings, and you must learn how to think for yourself.
Those are strong words, and they come from someone who should know: Glen Mather, president of Entrust Administrative Services, LLC, which administers more than 2,000 self-directed retirement accounts valued at more than $200 million.
“The handwriting’s on the wall and it’s a topic on just about every evening news program,” said Mather, whose company won’t offer investment advice, even when asked. “From financial meltdowns to financial scandals to economic downturns, it’s clear that people who want to save for their future, and especially for their retirement, must take charge of their own destiny,” Mather said.
That’s not easy in a world where Wall Street speculators and high-powered fund managers have upended markets, invented bubbles and shaken some of the bluest blue-chip corporations like rag dolls, Mather sympathized.
Mather doesn’t mean to point fingers. “That’s a job for the courts and the regulatory agencies,” Mather said. “Our goal is to educate, motivate and facilitate individuals who are making their own best decisions,” he said.
“Over the past few years we have seen an incredible amount of capital erosion,” Mather explained. “What we used to think of as safe bets have proved no more predictable than a Vegas roulette wheel. Real estate has shed 40 percent of its value, impacting good neighborhoods and benchmark commercial properties as much as the rest. Blue chip corporations, the bastions of the American economy, are filing for bankruptcy protection and standing in line for government bailouts. Some of the most trusted names in financial services are victims to greed and manipulation, threatening the financial security of our nation,” Mather said.
The only antidote is for each of us to mend our ways.
“It is imperative that we take control of our own financial future,” Mather warned. “If we simply hand our savings over to financial managers, don’t get involved, and wait for the returns to roll in, we may end up broke and hungry and---like 50 percent of people over the age of 65 today---working part or full-time through our retirement,” he said.
The antidote is education---lots of it.
“We have to learn the fundamentals of the financial markets. We have to learn how to analyze the news, read between the lines, and understand the difference between market indicators and marketing propaganda,” he said.
