In the world of litigation, navigating the complexities of subpoenas and protecting sensitive financial information is a formidable challenge. Recently, I had the privilege of defending a client faced with a subpoena duces tecum requesting business bank statements. I quickly contacted the client’s employer, verified that she had no ownership interest in the business, and obtained declarations supporting my client’s position. I then contacted the bank, informed them that I was going to be filing a motion to quash, and that the bank shouldn’t respond to the subpoena until the court ruled on the issue. Through strategic legal maneuvers and a deep understanding of the law, I achieved a significant victory for my client by successfully quashing the subpoena. This victory not only protected the privacy of my client’s employer but also served as a testament to the importance of a well-thought-out legal strategy and the ability to advocate effectively in the face of challenging legal circumstances.
