Like most states, Missouri has an implied consent law. This means that just by signing up for your driver’s license, you automatically give your consent to the police to perform a blood test unless you specifically say otherwise. Most people understand that you are able to refuse a breath test, but there are plenty of situations where police are lawfully able to take your blood without even asking you first.
Just because you didn’t agree to a blood test and the police took samples anyway doesn’t automatically mean you have a case. You need a lawyer with the experience and track record to know how to attack these cases.

Noble spent 10 years in law enforcement before his 12 years as an attorney and has seen the mistakes that police frequently make in acquiring evidence. Even the best and most experienced police officers are capable of making fundamental errors. You need a lawyer who can catch those mistakes and bring them to light at trial.
