Rights when dealing with a private detective

I have a private detective and a

lawyer trying to get a hold of me

concerning a matter belonging to my

now ex boyfriend. His mother hates

my guts and now I think shes trying

to save him jail time by saying I was

involved in a fatal car accident he

was in. (there was a witness that

saw everything that happened and

confirmed I wasnt there when it

happened) I gave my statement to

the real detectives (because I came

to the scene after it happened) and

havent heard anything since.. This

was over a year ago. Now his mom

hired a private detective and now

over 1 year later he and her have

been hounding me. Do I have to talk

to him? Whats right do I have? Can

she have her/my ex's lawyer

subpeona me? I just got married and

my brother passed and this is too

much stress. Any advice would be

very helpful.

Re: Rights when dealing with a private detective

What do you mean, hounding you? You have no obligation to speak to anybody. Politely tell them to go pound sand. If they serve you with a subpoena you will have to testify.
