It depends on the circumstances. If it is in connection with a Grand Jury, then that is usually not allowed, nor is a Guardian Ad Litem required to participate in certain court proceedings. Federal and state proscecutors and assistants are also exempt. If it concerns a case where the attorney represented one of the parties or some immediate connection such as the same law firm, the attorney cannot be forced to testify as that constitutes a breach of the client's right to confidentiality. In cases that directly relate to the attorney such as a malpractice case the judge will generally allow other attornies to be subpoenaed as witnessess for either side.

Contact the party or attorney that issued the subpoena to you. If you are state's witness, contact the prosecutor's office.

The limitation varies from state to state and in some instances from crime to crime. In Illinois the general standard for limitations on the filing of most felonies is five years. Please note that a private party cannot file felony charges. Felonies must be approved and filed by the prosecuting authority. This can be the state's attorney, district attorney, county attorney or state attorney depending upon the location. If you believe you were the victim of a felony you should contact the prosecuting authority in the area where the crime was committed.
