Legal Question in Business Law in Missouri

I was employed with a cleaning company for 10 months. I am now cleaning on my own. A few of their clients chose to come with me. I just received in the mail a letter from an attorney and a copy of a non compete agreement. The letter was not sent certified and it was basically written as a scare tactic. I remember that agreement. I was told the agreement meant that I would not clean on the side while employed with them. I was never sent for special training, i was never taught trade secrets and i do not posses a client list. Can this agreement be enforced?

As a Franchise Attorney familiar with noncompetes I can say the following. It depends on the terms and conditions of the agreement you signed, as well as how the former clients happened to follow you. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
