Subpoena issues are very tricky. Most likely she would have to ask the court in your jurisdiction to subpoena you for a deposition. You, of course, would have an absolute right to assert your fifth amendment right against self-incrimination, but you'd have to show up to do it.

I doubt she will subpoena you, however. It costs a lot of money in terms of legal fees.
