What is a depositional warrant?

Answer 1

There are two possibilities I can think of. One, is that someone wants to subpoena you for a deposition. Are you involved in some sort of law suit? The second possibility is that you have already been subpoenaed and failed to show up. If that is the case, and depending on the state you are in, it is possible the lawyer taking the deposition went to the court to ask for an order to enforce your attendance. The best thing to do is call the law firm back and ask for details. For instance, who subpoeaned you? In what case? Who are the parties? What is the case number? In which court was the case filed? If you are not involved in any kind of lawsuit or are not a witness in some civil or criminal case, then is likely not genuine.

Do not however give any personal information such as SSN, drivers license number, address, etc. Once you get the information, call the clerk of the court, give them the case number and ask them to advise you what the "deposition warrant" is and what you can do to get it cleared up.

If you know an attorney, you could also run it by him/her for advice and assistance.
