A: Honestly more information is needed to properly answer your question. You did not state if you were noticed as a witness or as a defendant. If you don't know call the court where the case is in and ask.

A: I write separately both to agree with my colleagues and to encourage you to seek out an attorney in the county in which this matter is currently pending who practices family law and criminal defense law.
