WHAT IF A GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE RECIEVES A SUBPOENA?
A government employee who receives a subpoena should immediately contact our office. If the subpoena involves a private matter, our office will help you respond to it or find you a Legal Assistance attorney who can help you respond to it. If the subpoena is for a government matter , we will also discuss with you how to respond to it. When the subpoena is for a government matter, there are limits on what testimony the government employee can provide. This is especially true for health care providers. Federal law also protects government employees by mandating that only certain people can issue subpoenas to them, and that those people must provide certain advance notice of subpoenaed testimony.
