Odessa is one of the Tampa Bay area’s most desirable communities, a semi-rural enclave straddling the Hillsborough and Pasco county line where equestrian estates, Keystone-area lakes, and wooded lots define a lifestyle that blends privacy with proximity to the city. Residents commute via the Suncoast Parkway (SR-589), SR-54, and Gunn Highway - corridors that also carry the traffic volume and law-enforcement presence that can give rise to DUI stops, traffic accidents, and personal injury claims. Understanding which county’s courts and procedures govern a matter is a critical first step that an experienced local attorney can navigate immediately.
Because Odessa is unincorporated, legal matters may fall under Hillsborough County or Pasco County jurisdiction depending on the precise location of an incident or a party’s residence. Family law cases such as divorce, child custody, and support orders, criminal defense proceedings, and civil injury claims each require counsel who knows the relevant courthouse, judges, and local rules. Butash Law Group, headquartered just minutes away on SR-54 in Lutz, is positioned to serve Odessa clients in both county systems without delay.
The families and professionals who choose Odessa for its Starkey Wilderness Preserve access, top-rated schools, and upscale neighborhoods deserve legal representation that matches the community’s high standards. Butash Law Group has spent more than 25 years serving Tampa Bay, building relationships with local courts and agencies throughout the region. Whether a matter arises from a collision on the Suncoast Parkway, a domestic dispute, or a slip-and-fall on private property, the firm provides the experienced, client-focused counsel Odessa residents need.
From criminal defense to personal injury, Butash Law Group represents Odessa clients across a full range of legal matters.

Because Odessa is an unincorporated community that straddles the Hillsborough and Pasco county line, the applicable courthouse depends on the specific address or location involved in your matter.

Butash Law Group practices in both county systems and can quickly identify the correct venue for your case.
