Scott Hamblin authored the 2010 Cumulative Supplement to Chapter 1 entitled Chemical Test Refusal Cases, which was published by the Missouri Bar Association in its Missouri DWI Law and Practice deskbook. The article provides in summary fashion legal opinions from the Missouri Courts of Appeal and changes in Missouri law governing situations involving a person’s refusal to submit to a chemical blood alcohol test following an arrest for driving while intoxicated (DWI/DUI). The article discusses what is considered a refusal and appeal of the revocation of driving privileges following a person’s refusal to submit to a chemical breath test. The Missouri DWI Law and Practice is a reference book utilized by lawyers in representing their clients.
Being arrested for a violation of a criminal law or criminal offense usually involves a range of emotions including disbelief, embarrassment, frustration, or even fear. The arrest is usually the first step in the legal process. A person is placed in handcuffs and transported to the county jail. A person is then fingerprinted and placed in a holding cell until law enforcement officers determine whether to engage in questioning.
Criminal charges often follow the arrest. Judges will require that defendants obtain a criminal defense lawyer to represent their interests. Many lawyers dabble in the criminal process, but few lawyers possess the experience to handle complex criminal cases including, but not limited to, criminal offenses for driving while intoxicated (DWI/DUI), possession of controlled substances, drug trafficking, possession with intent to distribute controlled substances, stealing, robbery, rape, arson, burglary, forgery, tampering, child molestation, sexual misconduct, child pornography, money laundering, manslaughter, and murder.

A Jefferson City man faced DUI charges following a field sobriety test. Charges against the defendant were dropped after Scott successfully maintained the client’s claims that the test results were inaccurate. While the client initially appeared to be in a difficult situation, Scott was able to push investigators to determine the sobriety test results as invalid, so the charges were dismissed.
A client from Fulton was accused of drug possession as a result of a home search. While drug charges may potentially be filed as a Class C felony involving severe consequences, Scott was able to help the client receive a reduced sentence. Ultimately, the client faced significantly smaller penalties compared to the initial charges.
One client sought legal assistance after an altercation with another individual in Jefferson City. The client was arrested on assault charges despite allegedly not starting the fight. Since an arrest can lead to life-altering penalties such as being terminated from employment and serving jail time, Scott was able to build a solid legal defense in the client’s favor and argued in favor of the client’s innocence.
