A grand jury subpoena is issued by the grand jury that is being led by the prosecutors seeking criminal charges. The prosecutors’ goal is to bring criminal charges against people and business entities. The grand jury has the power to issue two types of subpoenas. The first is a subpoena ad testificandum which requires a person to come and testify. The second is a subpoena duces tecum which requires a person or entity to provide documents to the grand jury. If you receive a grand jury subpoena, you should contact a defense attorney right away as you may be the target of an investigation or at risk of becoming the target of an investigation. There may be legal ways to challenge the subpoena or to limit its scope. It is important to consult with a lawyer and determine what your options are.
