A subpoena is an order from the court for the named persons to appear before a judge at the specified date, time, place. Subpoenas generally pertain to criminal matters rather than civil, although there are exceptions depending upon the circumstances of the case itself. The fees required for the filing of a civil complaint by a citizen are determined by the type of filing action (civil suit for debt, civil action pertaining to marriage issues, child support suits, personal injury, etc.). Contacting the office of the clerk or court administrator of the appropriate state court in the county where the person requesting the action resides is the best way to obtain information concerning costs and filing procedures.
