Re: Subpoenas
There are many types of subpoenas. Some involve court action, some civil agencies. Generally, a Justice of the Peace issues the subpoena and it is served, in hand, upon the witness, accompanied by the required fee and mileage expense. Any person over the age of 18 and not related to the witness may serve the subpoena. The specific nature of the legal matter may cause a variation in the general procedure.
