Witness Subpoena Civil Court Florida

You should try speaking to the attorney again and ask him if he can be more specific as to when he will need you for the trial. Unfortunately, sometimes cases are called for trial from a docket with only 24 to 48 hours notice to the parties lawyers and witnesses. You can also try contacting the Judge but if you were properly subpoenaed and fail to show you can be held in contempt.

Will filing bankruptcy cancel a pending judgement against me for personal injury negligence?

You should contact your insurance carrier if you had insurance at the time of that accident. If not, you should contact a bankruptcy attorney to consult with him/her. In Florida, there is homestead and the head of household has certain protections from garnishment etc.

I was involved in a hit and run accident. I was the person who got hit from behind.
