What if I’ve been subpoenaed as a witness on a Misdemeanor case?

A subpoena is traditionally defined as a command to appear at a certain time and place to give testimony regarding a certain matter. Testimony is normally given in a court of law before a judge or hearing officer, or by deposition, in the presence of a court reporter.

If you are served with a subpoena and have questions, or are unable to attend on the date specified, you must contact the agency or attorney that subpoenaed you.

If you fail to respond to a subpoena, you may be held in contempt of court.
