What are rules for subpoena service in Sarasota County FL?
This depends on what type of subpoena it is. It can be served by a sheriff deputy, a process server, an attorney, or yourself if you're handling your own case (pro se). A subpoena is prepared for its purpose. You go to the Clerk's Office to have it stamped with a seal of the Court (this costs about $1), then you have it served. The Sheriff's Office charges about $20 or more and a deputy will serve it for you. A subpoena has the same type of authority as a Summons. The difference between the two is that a Summons is served to a person to appear before a judge, and only if the person is the Defendant. Subpoenae are served to witnesses.

In any event, if you have been served with a subpoena, you need to appear as directed. If you cannot appear, you should contact the party who issued the subpoena and discuss your problem.
