Q: does a subpoena for all my records means i have to send my evidence to the company lawyer? Small claims court
The Judge told us we could speak to the attorney to try to work out a settlement before our next court date. The attorney asked that we email the photos we have. We did so. I carried a binder in court and in contains photos, inventory of my purchase, dates of communications with furniture store and the BBB and the BBB complaints against the furniture company. I received an email saying the attorney would be sending a subpoena for all my records. Do i have to send them and this case is pending trial in March?
A: Unless the documents are privileged such as an attorney work product privilege, the documents that are listed in the subpoena must be turned over to the attorney who subpoenaed them. You may want to hire an attorney for your side of the case.
