About Hillsborough County

Hillsborough County is located on the west central coast of Florida with a population of approximately 1.5 million people, making it the fourth largest county in Florida in terms of population. Due to its large population, there are more arrests in Hillsborough than in most other Florida counties. Hillsborough County is home to the City of Tampa, which serves as the county seat of Hillsborough County, with the main courthouse being at 800 Twiggs Street. An annex courthouse is located in Plant City at 301 N. Michigan Avenue, which handles cases and criminal allegations occurring in the eastern part of the county. 

Finally, the United States Courthouse for the Middle District of Florida, which handles all federal cases, is located at 801 N. Florida Avenue.

How Can We Help in Your Hillsborough County Criminal Case?

For over 20 years, Jason Mayberry has been representing clients in the Tampa Bay area, doing everything possible to ensure that his clients’ recent arrests impact their lives as little as possible. Residents of Hillsborough County regularly turn to The Mayberry Law Firm for help with their charges. Why choose us? Let us explain.

We understand what it feels like to face criminal charges without fully understanding how the system works. Many attorneys forget that their clients aren’t familiar with the law, just as most patients aren’t familiar with complex medical procedures. We won’t talk down to you, and we firmly believe there are no “bad questions” when it comes to your freedom. Our approach is to treat you with respect while helping you navigate the legal process.

At The Mayberry Law Firm, we don’t believe in nickel-and-diming our clients. We won’t charge you for every stamp, envelope, or thought we have about your case. Our focus is on the bigger picture—getting you the best possible outcome.

Our strong relationships with local prosecutors, both State and Federal, help us advocate effectively for our clients. While we work closely with these professionals, we never compromise when it comes to your defense. These relationships allow us to pursue favorable outcomes while ensuring that we are always ready to take your case to trial if necessary.

We are trial attorneys, and we aren’t afraid to take a case to court. Prosecutors know we’ll make them prove their case, which often leads to better plea deals for our clients. If a trial is the best option, we’ll fight for you every step of the way.

We’re always upfront with you. We won’t just tell you what you want to hear—we’ll give you the honest facts so you fully understand your situation and options.

Communication is key to our approach. We answer calls when we hear them, whether it’s 9 PM or 5 AM. Being responsive and accessible is one of our core principles, and we take pride in being available when you need us most.

Most importantly, we genuinely care about you and your case. Our dedication to fighting for the best possible outcome, combined with our commitment to your well-being, ensures we’ll be by your side throughout the entire process.

Will You Need to Appear in Court?

For federal criminal cases, you are usually required to appear in court, as mandated by federal judges.
