Out-of-State Subpoenas

Do you have a case pending outside of Georgia, and you need a Georgia witness to give a deposition or provide documents? If so, I can help you through the maze.

I can oversee the process, from answering questions about the commission, having the clerk issue the subpoena in Georgia, serving the subpoena properly, and even enforcing the subpoena in court.

Many of your questions may be answered in my article, Best Practices for Issuing Subpoenas: Depositions of Georgia Residents in Cases Pending Out of State, published in the Georgia Bar Journal. This article provides the current framework for how to have the clerk issue a subpoena in Georgia for a case pending in another state, including how the Uniform Foreign Depositions Act comes into play.

In the three years since the article was published, I’ve continued helping out-of-state counsel issue, serve, and enforce out-of-state subpoenas. And I learn something new and refine this area of my practice with almost every case. I’m writing about these lessons in a series of posts, beginning with Out-of-State Subpoenas: Practice Pointer No. 1.

I am offering flat rates for certain out-of-state subpoena services. Contact me so that I can provide you a quote. You can also set up a time to talk with me by clicking on the red Appointment tab to the right. After we talk, I can provide you a quote.

And if you need to enforce a federal subpoena, you may need local counsel. I can serve as local counsel for the Northern District of Georgia.
