Subpoena is typically issued by the clerk of the court, mostly in the name of judge presiding over the case. The subpoena will usually be on the letterhead of the court where the case is filed, name the parties to the case, and be addressed by name to the person whose testimony is being sought.

How do you quash subpoena?
File a motion to quash (rescind) with the court where the subpoena was issued. If the judge agrees that the subpoena has no merit he or she will declare it invalid. Usually filing such a motion is the only way to have a subpoena rescinded other than the attorney who issued it voluntarily canceling it.
Who Can issue Subpoenas?
The Clerk of the Court or an attorney as an officer of the court. Generally, attorneys are authorized to sign the Clerk's name to a subpoena and serve it as if the Clerk had issued it. As an example, this is what Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 45(a)(3) says: (3) Issued by Whom. The clerk must issue a subpoena, signed but otherwise in blank, to a party who requests it. That party must complete it before service. An attorney also may issue and sign a subpoena as an officer of: (A) a court in which the attorney is authorized to practice; or (B) a court for a district where a deposition is to be taken or production is to be made, if the attorney is authorized to practice in the court where the action is pending.
