A subpoena is an order directed to an individual commanding him to appear in court on a certain day to testify or produce documents in a pending lawsuit. The power to subpoena a person is granted officers of the court.
If you can convince the attorneys or the court that a witness is vital to your case, the court itself will issue the subpoeana, without cost, to the individual. On the other hand: If you are asking about serving a civil papers you may need to hire a process server out of your own pocket, and the cost for this can vary.

What is a legal document demanding your testimony in court?
Once a lawsuit is filed, there is also something called an Order that is issued by the judge (a subpoea is usually issued by the court clerk or a lawyer) that requires a witness to appear in court (or at a deposition or hearing). You get an order after you file a motion to compel (if the jdge grants your motion). That is much more serious than a subpoena. If there is an order compelling a witness to appear in court, and he or she doesn't appear, the court may punish him or her in a variety of ways. One thing the court could do is say, okay, you didn't show up, now you lost the lawsuit. Hope this helps.

What excuses can be used to get out of a subpoena?
Once a subpoena has been properly served, there is not much that one can do to legally elude their responsibility to the court system. However, the operative word is "properly." If a subpoena is dropped off at a place of business or delivered by mail, one could claim "ineffective service." Individuals who serve subpoenas must be able to testify to a judge that they indeed served the subpoena properly (they must be able to verify that the documents reached their intended recipient).
