If you were served with a California subpoena while you were in California, then the subpoena is lawful and you must obey it.

I disagree with Mr. Roach, in that it depends on what the subpoena was for. If it is a subpoena for you to appear in court, then he is right. If it is a discovery subpoena, then that may be a different matter depending on your relationship to the case and the parties.
