Legal Subpeona?? Need Info ASAP

What is the name of your state? Alabama
I have received a subpeona to deposition for a friend's divorce. The original date of deposition was last Friday, Sept. 17th, but was cancelled and rescheduled. The process server was not able to serve me before the original date scheduled. I was, however, personally served yesterday, but the subpeona I received was a copy of the original and the date was marked out and the new date was written in. Is this a legal subpeona, or should the attorney go back to the court clerk and officially file for a new subpeona??? I do not want to be in the middle of my friend's divorce if possible and wonder if I am bound to this subpeona. Any info is appreciated.

You were served a subpoena. It is a court order. You need to show up.

Thank you...

Should I meet with my own attorney for legal counsel before the deposition even though I am just a witness???
