A Virginia Subpoena (defense attorney) (Instructions) is a legal document issued by a court in the state of Virginia to require a person or entity to appear in court and provide testimony, documents, or other evidence. It can also be used to compel a person or entity to produce evidence. There are two types of Virginia Subpoena (defense attorney) (Instructions): a subpoena duces tecum, which requires a person or entity to produce specified documents or other tangible evidence, and a subpoena ad testificandum, which requires a person to appear in court and testify. Both types of Virginia Subpoena (defense attorney) (Instructions) must be served in accordance with the rules of the court, and failure to comply can result in sanctions or contempt of court.
