What should I do if I receive a subpoena for court and I have a conflict with the court date?
In some instances, if you have a pre-planned event already scheduled during the time of a court date, the Commonwealth may be able to request a continuance from the court. Valid reasons include pre-planned vacations, rescheduled doctor's appointments, work-related travel set prior to the service of the subpoena, and being subpoenaed to appear in another court on the same day at the same time. For more information, call the Victim-Witness Assistance Program at 757-890-3402.
