how do spell contempt of court? a subpoena being a court order
I vote for some jail time, restitution and a significant fine
for blowing off the court order.
OP, don't break any laws in CA unless you favor being a guest of
the state for a while.
On the other hand, I'm not sure from the post, the court's in CA
was the person serving it a mexican attorney or a CA attorney?
believe me, an attorney's subpoena is just as valid as one
served by the sheriff. but if the attorney isn't authorized to
practice in the state that he's serving it for....
v, say what?
