If i am wrongfully subpoena by a lawyer do i have to abide and show up?

Asked by a user in Ringwood, NJ - almost 3 years ago.

I agree with what the others have written. Do not ignore the subpoena. Determine if it is requesting documents or deposition testimony or both. If this is a New Jersey state court subpoena rather than a federal court subpoena, it likely requires both documents and deposition testimony. Disclaimer: I am not your attorney. This answer does not create an attorney-client relationship. The above does not constitute legal advice. Do not rely on this answer. Each state has different laws and...

Any way around a non disclosure agreement?

Asked by a user in Waterford, WI - almost 3 years ago.

From what you've written, it seems as if you have both a non-disclosure agreement and a non-compete (in the sense that you indicate you are restricted from working for others. However, if the "working for others" restriction is limited to the use of the company's confidential information then it is not a classical non-compete.) In any event, your question cannot be fully addressed because any argument would depend upon the precise wording of the agreement viewed in the context of your state's...

Asked by a user in Seattle, WA - almost 3 years ago.

Responding to "Discovery" during a settlement

Asked by a user in Atlanta, GA - almost 3 years ago.

The time allotted to respond to discovery requests depends upon the procedural rules of the court where your action is venued. I am not licensed to practice in Georgia (the location associated with your question) so I suggest you consult with a Georgia attorney. In general, if you feel you do not need to respond to the discovery because a settlement has been reached, a prudent path would be to contact counsel for your adversary to discuss the matter and obtain his/her consent. Then...

What is a oral examination

Asked by a user in Centreville, MD - almost 3 years ago.

Without more detail, one can only speculate in order to answer your question. However, there is a procedure in litigation called a deposition where the witness is put under oath and asked questions by the attorneys in the case. Under certain states’ rules, it can be either written or oral. Most often the deposition is an oral deposition. Disclaimer: I am not your attorney.
