I've been subpoenaed twice in 2011. Once for a traffic accident that i witnessed (not involved in) and a lawsuit between two partners at a client of mine.
The traffic accident deposition took about 15 minutes and they were cordial and professional. Once the lawyer for the old lady that ran the stop light realized my testimony screwed his case he just shut up and gave up questioning me.
The client case - fuck me. Talk about a no win situation. Both partners were accusing the other of cooking the books. problem is, neither one know jack shit abotu computers (they have their secretaries turn them on) so their imagination runs wild with all the shit they think the other one did. That took 4 fucking days of constant grilling over IT related stuff and explanations of why or why not something could have happened. Didn't help that the lawyers were nearly as clueless about computers.
