Subpoena assistance is a benefit of your ISBA Mutual Policy. If you are served with a subpoena for documents or testimony that involves your professional services, report it to our Claims Department and we will retain a lawyer to provide advice on the production of documents and, if necessary, prepare and represent you in your deposition.
Furthermore, ISBA Mutual will pay the first $5,000 of any expenses incurred in defending your interests in responding to a subpoena.
When should I contact ISBA Mutual for subpoena assistance?
Contact us as soon as you have been subpoenaed. Although your telephone call is important, you must provide us with written notice that you have been subpoenaed.
