i was sent a subpoena to appear in court as a witness. my name was spelled incorrectly on the subpoena. Do i still have to go?
State/Country relating to Question: New York
Thank you for using JustAnswer! Yes, you still have to go to court and honor the subpoena. If you fail to appear, a bench warrant for your arrest can be issued for contempt of court and the judge will not take too kindly to the reason that you didn't go to court because some clerk misspelled your name. Good luck and best wishes! When you go to court, be sure to give them the correct spelling of your name. I hope that you find this information to be helpful in better understanding where you stand and why. I also hope that you find this answer to be ACCEPTable!
