The use of a subpoena plays an instrumental role in the legal process of countless legal actions. In the greatest majority of situations, a subpoena is used as either a fact-finding tool or a resource for gathering vital and pertinent information for a case, as the attached video discusses. It also doesn’t matter if an attorney is working on obtaining out of state subpoena orders or typical subpoenas, records and evidence play a major role in the determination of granting a subpoena.
A subpoena for records can be issued in most cases, for any type of information that might be related to or pertinent to a case. This includes everything from employment records, medical records (HIPPA compliance regulations will typically be required), and more.
The power of the subpoena can make a difference in even deciding a case before it goes to trial depending on the dispute in question.
The law is there to protect and help everyone. Subpoenas are a tool that helps to make that process and the work of justice that much easier. Just remember, if they are fighting a subpoena, then there is also something they are probably trying to hide, and that the subpoena says you have a legal right to see.
