I live in San Diego and have been subpoenad as a witness to a small claims court case in San Francisco. The subpoena form was filled out by the plaintif and says I have to appear in person to testify to a phone conversation he insists I heard that would "corroborate the plantifs version of erants." This is ridiculious, I'm a single father that works full time, I cannot travel accross the state to testify that i heard no such conversation, nor is it reasonable to ask me to do so as the plaintif has no other evidence. Is there any option other than me having to travel to San Francisco and back for 23 cents a mile? Thank you very much for your time and help.
