If you received a subpoena and you fail to show up in court you can be held in contempt of court, and may also face criminal charges for violating a court order. It is always better to show up in court and testify as to only what you remember.

I don't practice in OH, but generally a subpoena has to be personally served. In your case it sounds like it wasnt.
If you don't show up and they say they personally served you you can be found in contempt of court. A bench warrant may issue. Edward J. Blum |
