Q: I didn't do the proper paperwork to file a motion to quash a subpoena. At the hearing, the judge suggested a continuance
I signed the order, which said that I would file the motion that day, but I have changed my mind, and don't want to quash the subpoena. So I didn't file the motion. Is that ok? The subpoena was for medical records, and I plan to send them to the attorney.
A: That would largely depend on the judge, but most judges would allow you to cooperate with the opposing side if you decide to. Whether it is a good idea in your particular case is best discussed with a confidential consultation with a lawyer to determine the pros and cons associated with your course of action.
