I won't disclose all the information here, but I need some legal advice concerning a subpoena/subpoena duces tecum. If anyone is able to help answer some questions please aim me at rettemichjen.

Some minor info:
1. The subpoena wasn't served to me, in my hands, nor in my presence. It was left with someone who was at home.
2. My name isn't even correctly typed on the form, therefore it (technically) isn't my name.


So pretty much, I was just wondering (for this small bit) if I even have to appear in court, because of those two above details. There is still more I need to know that'll I'll explain personally (no in the forum), but basically my biggest concern is if I don't appear, will I be held liable under any law (CA) for not responding to the subpoena?

You can serve a subpoena to someone in the home if there's a reasonable expectation they would give it to you.

Misspellings on subpoenas don't void them either.

You need to answer it.

If you don't answer it, btw, a warrant can be issued for you. Yay?!?

That's what you get from stealing all of that eyeliner from the emo depot.

This reminds me of a year ago when we did some renovations to the house we own in Florida. It's one of those places where all the houses look the same so you can't change something dramatically. The Community Board went ape shit (they are all old batties) so they tried to serve us. It was funny because we were all home and they were banging on the doors but we didn't answer. They like taped our front door shut and put the notice on the door.
