Tampa Bay attorneys John Della Costa and David Neville met while working at local law firms that operated with what they call the “Mill Mentality.” The goal of the “Mill Mentality” is to attract as many cases as possible and then push them through the legal system quickly. It was a volume business that produced great revenue for the law firms, but John and David always felt the clients weren’t getting the personal attention they deserved.
THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO GET YOUR FREE GUIDE*: 1) Visit www.ProLawUSA.com and click the download button
2) Call our office at In 2006 John and David decided to do things differently. They envisioned a law firm where clients could work directly with their attorneys – not paralegals, case workers, or assistants like they would at a typical “TV law firm.” They knew this approach would require them to accept fewer cases but they also knew it was the best way to serve their clients. Together, John and David created the law firm of Della Costa & Neville to provide clients with the personal service they felt was lacking in so many of the larger firms.

If you’ve been injured there are plenty of law firms out there eager to handle your case and it’s not always easy to tell the differences between them. That’s why John Della Costa decided to write Don’t Get Caught In The Mill! It’s an inside look at the way different law firms operate and is designed to provide consumers with the information they need to select the right attorney for their case. If you are a Florida resident you can get this book for free without any obligation.

November is now in the books and we are hot and heavy into the Holiday Season! Be sure to get out and try and make it to every toy run and charity event this month as they are all helping needy children and families in this time of need. The Full Throttle Teddy Bear Toy Run is December 20th starting at Tampa HarleyDavidson on Dale Mabry Highway and going to St. Joseph's Children's Hospital. This is a great run every year where the kids are always outside to welcome us when we get to the hospital. We do this toy run twice a year and we had over 300 bikes in July, We would LOVE to have that same amount, if not more, for this upcoming event. We always love the help form the LAMA's of Brandon who always run our road protection and make sure we make it there safe and sound to the hospital. All you have to do for the toy run this year is show up with a toy, there is no charge to ride on this event but we will have a donation bucket at our booth at Tampa Harley-Davidson if you want to donate. We also did a poker tournament at the Silks Poker Room in November that raised over $650 for the run that we will be spending on toys to bring for the children! Thanks to everyone who participated in the poker game. While we are on the subject of Poker runs let's talk about the major ones that happen here in the Tampa Bay Area. December 7th is the Jim's Rosenkrans 27th Annual Memorial Toy Run. It starts at Jim's Harley-Davidson in St. Pete and goes on a great route down by the beaches and returns back to Jim's H-D with a celebration with music, food, drinks and much more. this run benefits the Pinellas County Schools and always have around 2,000 - 3,000 bikes on it. The next huge toy run is the 34th Annual Suncoast Brotherhood toy run on Dec. 21st that starts at the Kmart in Dunedin and goes to the American Legion Post 275 in Dunedin. There is a $5 donation and they ask you to bring toys as well for this benefiting the Pinellas County Foster & Adoptive Parents Association. Next month is one of the biggest months for Full Throttle Magazine. There are so many huge events that happen in January. Our biggest one, of course, is the Florida Motorcycle Expo and Bike Builder Invitational at Quaker Steak and Lube January 23rd - 25th 2015. there are so many events going on at the Expo it makes for a great weekend. We have live bands rocking the Jagermeister stage all weekend, Amazing motorcycle creation in the Bike Builder Invitational going for over $20,000 in cash and prizes and over 140 vendors. This year we have a national act coming in to play Saturday night after the Miss Full throttle Contest and Fireworks display called The Lacs. They are a great band and a little different then you have seen before. We are always trying to bring new things to our event and keep it fresh. The Lacs music is called Hick Hop and they have opened for Colt Ford. Be sure to YouTube them and check them out, they will be very high energy, a lot of fun and something a little different for our biker community. besides all that we give away $100 an hour, sponsored by St. Pete Powersports, a ride in bike show on Sunday, ribbon cutting ceremony on Friday night and more surprises to come next month! Keep an eye on the magazine and on our facebook page for updates. I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Full Throttle has a lot of great plans for 2015! I would also like to wish everyone with a birthday in the month of December a happy birthday! Be safe, ride smart, have a big heart and love everyone!

The last couple of months have been filled with extreme highs and the lowest of lows. Let's start with the happy stuff. The Diva's have been busy as usual with our 5th Annual Pajama Drive as well as selling raffle tickets for a new Harley Davidson Bicycle....yes, I said bicycle. please come out to our Diva tent at QS&L and buy a ticket! We took part in The Quaker Steak and Lube 11th Anniversary Celebration on October 26th, dressed in our Halloween costumes and what kind of costumes would we wear? Why Angel costumes,of course! Check out the picture of some of our girls. We also attended the Full Throttle Anniversary Party which was a blast! Congratulations to Quaker Steak & Lube and Full Throttle for another wonderful year! Some of our Diva's took part in the Military Appreciation Day at Jim's Harley Davidson as well as other charitable events. A great time was had by all when we worked Beer Truck #1 at the Ribfest. This is a favorite event of ours that we do annually without fail and it's so much fun and the proceeds help the children. Many thanks to the Northeast Exchange Club for inviting us back year after year. We're looking forward to participating in the Cookson Hills Toy Ride as well as the SCBH Toy Run. We have our Diva Holiday party coming up too and Diva Lynne has graciously opened her home to this great event. Thanks Lynne!! We would also like to congratulate Diva

Teresa on her new position as Assistant Director of the Diva Angels. WTG! This brings me to what I spoke of earlier, the lowest of lows..... Our dearly beloved Diva sister, Tarra Mitchell passed away on October 31st. This wasn't something that was expected and no it wasn't a motorcycle accident. But losing Tarra has left not only the Tampa Bay Chapter devastated, but all of our chapters in shock. I guess the good Lord needed a very special angel to ride with him in heaven. The outpouring of support from other chapters as well as others in the biker community has been amazing and we want to thank all of you for your unwavering support. Please keep Tarra's family in your prayers as well as her "other" family, the Diva Angels. God bless you Tarra, we miss you terribly.... If you are interested in learning more about our organization, we meet on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at Quaker Steak Lube in Clearwater (5:30-7 social meet & greet). You can also find us every 3rd Wednesday at the best Bike Night ever at QS&L. Please check out our website www.divaangels.org and find a chapter near you or visit us on Facebook! The Diva Angels would like to wish everyone a Happy, Happy Holiday!

Welcome to the Christmas Back Yard. It has been a great year for me. I meet so many great people and had a blast at all the events I attended in 2014. One of the things I love with my job is everyone I get to meet and in my travels I've got to see some amazing bikes, trikes and whatever type machines that builders minds can dream up. 2015 will be even bigger and better so I can't wait. I want wish everyone a very safe and Merry Christmas and New Years. December is my favorite month as a biker with all the Christmas Toy Runs that we get to be a part of. It all starts with the Jim's Harley Davidson Toy Run on
40
December 7th.Then we have our annual St. Joseph's Toy Run December 20th in Tampa. Make sure you check out Full Throttle for all the Christmas Toy Runs with dates and time. Hard to believe New years is right around the corner. That means It's Full Throttle Bike Builders Invitational and Expo January 23rd to 25th. The Expo will be bigger the ever so make sure you mark your calendar and don't miss it. Be safe everyone and remember. If your lady don't find you handsome, At least let them find you handy. Keep your stick on the ice. Merry Christmas to one and all.

Hey there everyone!! Its that time again to sit down to share with you about an event this past month and what's coming up next month!! Lets start with November - there is a bar in Zephyrhills that's called Jerry's Crystal Bar. They threw a bike bash on Nov. 22. The day started with a little rain but turned out nice. They are the oldest bar owned by one family - 60 years of business in central Florida! The party started at noon with the Smoke and Run band playing, Jerico took the stage around 3 PM and then the outside event ended at dusk. From outside to inside the party kept going with the Blind Barber finishing off the event that ran till 2 AM! Watch for the next event to come in the next few months - great ride and good fun. Wednesday, December 3rd there is going to be a new bike night in Hudson at Kickin Wingz. This is great for those who are looking for something in the northern counties mid week - it will start at 6 PM and party goes to 10. December are the big toy runs - December 20th will Full Throttle's run starting at Tampa Harley and ending at St Joseph's Children's Hospital. December 21st will be the Suncoast Brotherhood run starting at the K-Mart at Main St & US 19 and ending the the American Legion post in Dunedin. These are the best runs of the month and I will be at both and hope to see many of you there! Till the next time - Live life to the fullest and party your ass off.
