What Is a Subpoena And How Does It Work?

Winter Park, Florida, personal injury attorney Kim Cullen provides another video with useful and valuable information to Floridians regarding the legal process. This time, Kim explains what a subpoena is, and how a subpoena works - particularly in personal injury cases.

A subpoena is a tool used by a party in a lawsuit to gather information. A subpoena is usually directed to a non-party - a person or entity not involved in the underlying lawsuit. A subpoena can be used to secure documents or electronic materials. A subpoena can also be used to compel a person to give sworn testimony about an issue relevant to a pending lawsuit.

Subpoenas do not need to be issued by a Court or judge. A subpoena can be issued by any attorney, acting in his role as an officer of the Court. Once a subpoena is issued, it must be served on the party to which it is directed by a certified Process Server.

People who have been served with a subpoena generally need to comply with them. However, there is a procedure in place where the subject of a subpoena can object and have a court rule upon whether the subpoena is appropriate.

If you have any questions about subpoenas, please call Winter Park and Orlando personal injury attorneys Kim Cullen and Robert Hemphill at 407-254-4901.
