How to check if a deposition subpoena is valid, Sup Court California, LA County, Northeast Div
Question Details: Received a deposition subpoena from a process server to 1) appear in person on Memorial day at an attorneys office to be deposed and 2) produce documents relating to the case. This is a Civil case of a friend of mine against a real estate agent about false statements from the realtor during the sale of a house to my friend. The Dep Subpoena does not have any stamps or marks relating to being filed with the Superior Court other than a case #. This appears to be an annoyance tactic. do I have to respond to the subpoena
Real Estate Law Answers
If you were served in hand and the document is signed by a lawyer, then i would say thart you have to be there. I would need to actually see the document, but it appears that the notice of depo/subpoena is legit. If you fail to show up you could be ordered by a court to attend. If you are busy that day, call the lawyer that noticed the depo and ask him/her to reschedule. Not appearing is against the law. Plus, if you are trying to help your friend here, then you should want to attend; right?
