Re: Small Claims turned to subpoena

Is this a supboena to appear in a case filed against you (i.e., the case involving the judgment) or a new and seperate case in whgich you are not involved. Generally, a person cannot be subpoened to appear in another state to be a witness in a case. You may wish to contact the person that sent you the notice.
