Who Can Serve a Subpoena

Ohio’s civil rules allow subpoenas to be served by certain officials, by attorneys, and by adults who are not parties to the case, among others listed in the rules. Requirements can differ in criminal matters and in specific courts, so confirm the rules that apply to your case.

Witness Fees and Timing

Some subpoenas must be accompanied by witness fees and mileage. Service also needs to happen early enough to give the witness reasonable time to comply. Your attorney will confirm the required fee and timing, and we will deliver the subpoena with whatever must be tendered.

Serving Businesses and Records Custodians

Records subpoenas are often served on a business through its records custodian or registered agent. We identify the right person or office and document exactly who accepted the subpoena.
