Q: subpoena was taken to my parents house but I was not there and not directly served. Do I still need to abide by
It states that I need to report to a lawyers office on a certain date. I do not even know what this is for. Do I have to go since I was not served directly? It so, am I able to obtain information about what this is for before I go?
A: If you reside at the residence and someone over 18 signed for you, then yes - you need to appear. You can absolutely contact the law firm or lawyer that issued the subpoena and ask what it is about or even ask to reschedule.
