Subpoenas are a quintessential aspect to the world of law, yet many people don’t have a complete understanding of what they are. In just a few words, subpoenas are legal documents that call upon a person (or business) to testify as a witness at a specific time and location. Subpoenas are crucial to gather an entire profile of facts and testimonies in regards to a case.

For instance, a witness subpoena requires a person to appear in court to testify, while a subpoena duces tecum is for the production of evidence or documents.
