Well LG, I am not permitted to give legal advice in places where I am not admitted. But I can say that lawyers are officers of the court, and that subpoena is issued on the authority of a court and, for that reason, a PROPER sunpoena must be obeyed. Hope this helps.

LG, I'm an officer of the court in the State of Florida. Maybe I can help answer your question. A subpoena is a 'court order to appear'... if you fail to appear, then the judge, or the sentencing authority in that case, whether civil or criminal, can issue a warrant for your arrest... the fact that the subpoena is being issued from another state is irrelevant... if the warrant is entered into the national criminal information center (NCIC), then the warrant will remain there forever and will be active nationwide and you could be arrested by any police officer that conducts a routine traffic stop just to check your license or to advise you of a broken tail light, or whatever... Once you're arrested, the state that issued that warrant then must decide if they want to extradite you to that state or dismiss the warrant. If they extradite you to the originating state, you'll also be charged for all transportation costs and expenses (that gets expensive)... if you're not important enough to the case for them to retrieve you, then the warrant would then be dismissed and you'll be released. No matter how you slice it, ignoring a subpoena is a major hassle and a criminal misdemeanor here... This may not be what you wanted to hear, but somebody ought to let you know..... GZ
