Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in California

Subpoenas are not filed with the court.

You file a motion to quash in the case for which the subpoena issued. You should have the court name and case file number on the subpoena. You will of course submit a copy of the subpoena with your motion, but the court will not have a copy before that time.

It never is filed, except if there is a dispute over service or compliance with the subpoena. If serious about hiring counsel to help in this, and if this is in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me. I�ll be happy to help.
