What Right Law Group attorneys say

An actual subpoena that can force you to go into court is a personally served subpoena. So in order for you to be forced to go to court, you have to be personally served with a document by someone that says this is the court date, this is where you're being served to go you have to sign it, they have to send you have to be personally served. Now, technically, you don't have to sign it, they can hand it to you and they can write that you are handed it.
