Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

Re: subpoena for deposition

If you received a properly issued subpoena then you need to show up as indicated, unless otherwise excused, and answer all questions that are not otherwise privledged. The constitution does protect you, so you can still, for example, take the 5th Amendment -- but you can't just do that to avoid answering otherwise proper questions that do not tend to and would not incriminate you. If you have a crimminal concern, you should see a lawyer immediately.

Re: subpoena for deposition

You cannot refuse to comply with a subpoena absent a good reason and a motion for protective order granted by the Court. You probably don't have any personal exposure if you are not a party but additional facts would be necessary to confirm. If you would like to consult further, please contact my office.
