What is a Subpoena? A subpoena is a legal document that commands a person or entity to testify as a witness at a specified time and place (at a deposition, trial, or other hearing), and/or to produce documents or other tangible objects in a legal proceeding. Subpoenas are time-sensitive with court-imposed deadlines.
Failure to respond to a subpoena is punishable as contempt by either the court or agency issuing the subpoena. Punishment may include monetary sanctions (even imprisonment although extremely unlikely).
A subpoena cannot be ignored as it is a court order and a failure to respond to it may be punishable as contempt of court. Criminal and civil attorneys use subpoenas to obtain information that may bolster their clients case.
What a Subpoena Means for You. A subpoena is not an automatic indictment, but the government wants you to believe youre guilty so you cave in. Prosecutors chase convictions under United States v. Nixon, 418 U.S. 683 (1974), which confirmed how subpoenas can pry into almost anything.
Hardship: If you can demonstrate that attending court would cause undue hardship (e.g., financial hardship from missing work), you might be excused or the appearance might be rescheduled. However, this is not guaranteed, and the definition of undue hardship can be subjective.

What Kinds of Cases Are Subpoenas Used In? Subpoenas can be used in almost any area of the law. For example, in civil cases such as divorce, custody and visitation, or support hearings, they are often used to elicit testimony or gather bank records from the parties.
Relevance of Testimony: If you genuinely believe that you have no relevant information about the case, you can consult an attorney to help you file a motion to quash the subpoena. If the judge agrees, you might be excused.
