Subpoenas sound scary. In this episode, Attorney Gwendolyn J. Sterk chats with Becky Sampson from OnlySubpoenas to discuss what a subpoena actually is and why they’re a normal part of the legal process.Much of the stress surrounding subpoenas stems from a lack of understanding about what they are and their meaning. In reality, they’re just a way to get information like financial records, employment details, or other documents that help everyone understand what’s really going on in a case.They also discuss what happens if someone ignores a subpoena, the most common misconceptions people have, and the mistakes that can complicate the process unnecessarily.Becky shares how and why she built her niche around subpoenas and why having someone who understands the process can make things run a lot smoother behind the scenes.In family law cases, especially, subpoenas are often working in the background to verify information and move things forward.
