Common Questions
What is a subpoena?
Persons involved in court cases are issued subpoenas to appear in court. These court orders mandate that a person appear at a pre-set date and time in order for their testimony to be heard.
Subpoena's are often served by officers and detectives that often are not involved in the actual case. If you are served, the officer more than likely will not be able to answer specific questions but general directions about a court appearance may be offered.
When an officer attempts to serve a subpoena and no contact is made at the address of service, a blue "NOTICE OF SUBPOENA" card will be left on or near the door. On the blue card will be instructions on contacting our office so that an officer can get the subpoena to you.
Do I need to appear?
On the back of each subpoena are instructions on how to contact the Saginaw County Prosecutors Office. Persons that are notified to attend a court matter can call 989-790-5580 after 5:00pm the night before the scheduled date to see if they need to appear.
