Re: Validity of subpoena for out of state residents

Contact the prosecutor who requested the subpoena. Inform him/her that you are unable to attend court because ..... If he or she really needs you they can request an adjournment and reschedule around your schedule. Also inform him or her that you need a plane ticket and transportation to and from the court as well as a place to stay while you are in Michigan. Inform him/her that you don't have available funds to make the trip. What county is it in? Good luck.
