Re: material witness subpoena
Your obligation is to appear as instructed in the subpoena. Failing to do so could put you in contempt. The court can have you forcibly taken to testify. Contact the people that hired you to make sure that they know you have been subpoenaed. If there is a legal privledge that would apply and preclude you from testifying, they will be able to raise that issue.
