We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Does a federal subpoena have to be served in person?

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).

What is the difference between a subpoena and a subpoena duces tecum?

If you willfully ignore a federal subpoena, whether by failing to appear or providing the requested information, a motion may be filed to compel you to appear, followed by a move to charge you with criminal contempt.

Does a subpoena mean Im in trouble?

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.

Can you ignore a federal subpoena?

A subpoena may command: (A) production of documents, electronically stored information, or tangible things at a place within 100 miles of where the person resides, is employed, or regularly transacts business in person; and (B) inspection of premises at the premises to be inspected.

What happens if I ignore a federal subpoena?

Personal Service: Pursuant to FRCP Rule 45(b)(1) a subpoena must be personally delivered to the person whose attendance is required by the subpoena. A person who serves the subpoena must be at least 18 years of age. A person who serves the subpoena cannot be a party to the proceeding under which the subpoena is issued.

How do I get out of a federal subpoena?

The governments authority to impose criminal penalties against you for ignoring a subpoena is contained in Title 18 U.S.C. Sections 401 and 402, known as contempt of court. You could face significant fines and up to 6 months in jail if convicted.
