A DEPENDABLE NEBRASKA LEGAL PARTNER
Every Flatwater Legal case is personally handled by attorney James Owen, who focuses exclusively on CDL and traffic defense across Nebraska. For more than 18 years, James has worked directly with commercial drivers and CDL-related issues — including logistics management during his service in the United States Air Force.
That background gives him a practical read on how citations are viewed by employers, safety departments, and insurers — not just judges and prosecutors. Fleets get straightforward answers and no guesswork about what can realistically be achieved.

You Stay Updated

ENFORCEMENT LANDSCAPE
Nebraska Enforcement Is Active. Your Response Process Should Be Simple.
Interstate 80, U.S. Highway 81, and the weigh stations along them see steady, consistent enforcement — which means fleets running Nebraska routes should expect citations as a normal part of operating, not an emergency. What matters is having a fixed, repeatable process ready before the next one lands.

Why Fleets Work With Flatwater Legal
OUR FOCUS
FLEET CITATION DEFENCE
Flatwater Legal handles CDL and traffic citations exclusively — nothing else competes for our attention. When one of your drivers is cited anywhere in Nebraska, we step in directly with the driver and keep your safety team looped in, so a routine stop doesn't turn into a CSA problem or an insurance headache.
Moving violations, weigh station and log/HOS citations, overweight & load violations
Representation in county courts statewide, not just along the I-80 corridor
Handled with CSA scores, PSP records, and insurability in mind — not just the fine
