Question

Can an attorney call anyone to testify by subpoena? Do they have to appear?



Answer

If you have been served with a subpoena to a case, then you will need to appear. Disobedience of a subpoena can be punished with contempt, and the trial judge has the authority to order you arrested and brought to court.
