Responding to Subpoenas

You may have received a subpoena issued from a state or federal court. Or perhaps you have received a subpoena or civil investigative demand from a government agency. It is always a good idea to consult with a lawyer when responding to these documents and it is never a good idea to completely ignore them, even if they concern investigations that you believe do not involve you.

Will Newman has represented numerous clients who receive subpoenas and civil investigative demands involving private lawsuits and government investigations.  The government matters he has worked on have involved the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Internal Revenue Service, the Federal Trade Commission, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Department of Justice. He routinely helps clients:

• Object to overbroad subpoenas;

• Gather and produce documents;

• Prepare for and testify at depositions and trials;

• Negotiate for compensation for their compliance with a subpoena; and

• Ensure the process goes as smoothly as possible.

Will has over a decade of experience assisting clients in the discovery and investigation process.  While discovery can often be expensive and burdensome, Will aims to be efficient in helping clients to comply with subpoenas issued by courts throughout the United States.

Will also helps clients who seek discovery in the United States in aid of litigation abroad.
