Re: Subpeona

Its a little hard to answer your question because you didn't give enough details. It would be helpful to know if your friend is a defendant, victim or witness. Same with you. I assume that your friend is the defendant and he is avoiding the subpoena. If so, then they can seek a warrant for his arrest. It won't do anyone any good to avoid a subpoena. It will not make the case go away and will only cause problems. If you care to call your welcome to. Robert Johnston 843-828-1137
