Bankruptcy Rule 2004

My state is Kansas. I have been subpoenaed as a witness in a bankruptcy hearing which is to be held in a law office. In Paragraph (e) of Rule 2004. Examination it states "any entity other than a debtor shall not be required to attend as a witness unless lawful mileage and witness fee for one day's attendance shall be first tendered." This law firm has not mentioned this and as a result I have not received any mileage or witness fee. What should I do, as I will be missing work for this hearing. Am I reading this correctly? Should I show up?

Thank you,
Amy

Ordinarily, the required fees are tendered by the officer who serves the subpoena. Failure to obey a suboena is punishable as contempt of court. The only remedy for an improperly issued subpoena is a motion to quash filed in the issuing court.
