– Once a subpoena has been properly issued, it must be served in compliance with the laws of the State of Florida and pursuant to the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure. – The serving party must apply to the court in the county where the discovery is sought to enforce the subpoena.
– The party served with the subpoena must petition the court in the county where the discovery is sought if they have objections or seek a protective order.
– All parties must comply with Florida law and the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure when seeking relief from the court.
