Re: Charging for testimony
It really depends on why you are being subpoenaed. If you are being asked to testify as an expert in your field, it is common to charge for your services. If your testimony is merely that of a fact witness (i.e., her husband ambushed her after a session and I witnessed it) then you would not be entitled to compensation for your time to testify.
