I assume the defendant did the assault, not his lawyer...
In any event, the short answer is probably no. You have to appear in response to a valid subpoena, and give truthful testimony, unless the testimony is privileged. For a more detailed answer in response to your particular facts, you need to consult with a real live lawyer.
