Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Pennsylvania
I received a subpoena for a deposition in a civil case. The date was set for April 27. Got a call on April 25 notifying me of postponement. Received notice from my lawyer on 5/20 of new date time (June 4)...I DO NOT want to do this voluntarily...should I be issues an updated subpoena?? My paperwork specifically stated a date of April 27, 2010... I did not received a witness fee/travel voucher from the person delivering the subpoena. Is the "outdated" subpoena valid?

If you have an attorney, direct these questions to him or her. It is not ethical for another attorney to interfere in the attorney relationship.
As a general matter, the time for quashing the subpoena is long over. Plan to show up at the deposition or there will be consquences.
