Our workflow
Send complete papers and instructions. We review the address, timing, document type, and requested method; confirm acceptance and pricing; perform the accepted assignment; and provide material status and applicable completion documentation.
Subpoena assignments require document-specific review
A subpoena is not simply another summons. Massachusetts Rule of Civil Procedure 4 expressly points subpoena service to Rule 45, and other courts or case types may use their own subpoena rules and forms. Before an assignment is accepted, the issuing court, document, recipient, appearance or production date, and any special instructions should be reviewed.
Provide the complete subpoena, the recipient’s full name, a reliable address, the date and time of any required appearance, and a direct contact for questions. For a business witness or records custodian, identify the entity and intended recipient as precisely as possible. Do not assume that leaving a subpoena with any employee will satisfy the applicable rule.
Deadlines and proof of service
Subpoenas often involve firm event dates, so early delivery is valuable even when the rule does not create a single universal lead time for every situation. Counsel should determine the legally required timing for the particular subpoena. Our role is to review the requested service window, communicate feasibility, and document the accepted assignment.
Once service is completed, retain the return or affidavit with the case file and follow the issuing court’s filing instructions. If the witness cannot be located or an address proves inaccurate, early notice gives the requesting party more time to decide whether another lawful address or procedural step is appropriate.
