Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

I was subpoena for a video taped deposition which was done in tennessee for a civil case in florida, i volountarily did a three hour testimony with one lawyer present and the other on the phone. I returned to florida for a short visit and was severed another subpoena for a court date range of a week and its hours away from my location in florida . I was told by the attorney who disposed me in tennessee that I would not have to go to court , that the video tape depositon was all he needed. it has only been less then two months since the first testimony and 3hrs of questions. I cannot stay in florida for this , nor i dont feel i have anything more to say. what should or could i do if I dont comply with the new subpoena for the same case twice . I feel they inconviencing me an awful lot for a case that I am not part of.

Without doing some research, so I am unsure of the correct answer, I do not believe the Florida subpoena is good on you. No Florida court is going to compel you to travel over 100 miles to a trial, especially since a depo has been taken of you. Consult the non-supoenaing lawyer for advice or seek seperate advice.
