Meet Your Dedicated Fleet Team
One Attorney. Dedicated Fleet Support. Every Nebraska Citation.
Every fleet that partners with Flatwater Legal works directly with attorney James Owen while also receiving dedicated support from Fleet Services Manager Shaina McBride.
James personally handles every Nebraska CDL and traffic case. Shaina keeps your fleet informed with lightning-fast communication, proactive updates, and seamless coordination from the moment a citation arrives until the case is closed.
Whether your drivers receive one citation each year or dozens each month, you'll always know exactly who to contact.
James Owen
Nebraska CDL & Traffic Attorney
James focuses exclusively on Nebraska CDL and traffic defense. Every case is personally reviewed, negotiated, and handled by him.
For more than 18 years, James has worked with commercial drivers and the trucking industry, including logistics management during his service in the United States Air Force. That experience gives him a practical understanding of not only the legal issues involved, but also how citations affect drivers, safety departments, insurance costs, CSA scores, and fleet operations.
Shaina McBride
Fleet Services Manager
Shaina was brought on exclusively to support Flatwater Legal's fleet clients.
She serves as your primary day-to-day contact, providing lightning-fast responses, proactive case updates, and seamless coordination throughout every Nebraska citation. From the moment you send a citation until the case is resolved, Shaina keeps everything moving so your team spends less time tracking cases and more time managing your fleet.
Direct Attorney Access. Dedicated Fleet Support
Working with Shaina never means losing direct access to your attorney.
James remains personally available for legal strategy, case-specific questions, negotiations, and court appearances. Shaina handles the day-to-day communication and coordination so your fleet receives faster responses while still having direct access to the attorney handling every case.

Built to Make Your Job Easier
Fleet managers and safety teams already have enough to manage.
A Nebraska citation should not become an ongoing administrative headache because communication is slow, deadlines are unclear, or updates require repeated follow-up.
When you send a Nebraska matter to Flatwater Legal, the goal is simple: handle it well, communicate clearly, and reduce the burden on your team.
For companies that deal with Nebraska citations regularly, we are happy to discuss a consistent working relationship that makes the process even more efficient.
