it came in the form of a letter from the defense atty's.office
to the DA office; and to the DMV hearing officer who both said to me that I was not needed by ("EITHER OF THEM") the letter didnt go through the court system. it wasnt a court summons
it was a dmv hearing. usually I am paid by the dmv or DA
My testimony, was already in writing;..... I would not be paid for my time or testimony.
I requested payment to the defense Atty office with no response. But then he the defense atty. wrote back to hearing officer and said that I was in contempt.& then the letter ended there..... Now what?

Call the Court where the hearing was to be. Only the Court can find you in contempt and exact any legal repercussions. Good luck!

If it was for a criminal matter, a warrant could be issued for your arrest for Failure to Appear. If it is for a civil matter you could be found in Contempt of Court and fined and/or sentenced to serve some jail time. You should never disregard a Court subpoena. If you have questions about whether or not you need to appear, you should call either the Court directly or an attorney.

you are able to not be subpoenaed for an unpaid bill. You cqn be served with a summons and grievance. in case you do no longer respond, in the considered necessary 21 days era, the court docket will enter a default judgement and you will no longer in simple terms could desire to pay the quantity claimed yet in addition court docket fees, etc. Then the different guy in simple terms garnishes your financial employer account, has the sheriff grab your automobile or different sources, etc. it truly is much less complicated to respond to the summons and are available up with a stable argument approximately why you do no longer owe it or a minimum of do no longer owe portion of it. in case you do respond, and whether you lose, you are able to ask the court docket to permit you to pay the judgement over a quantity of time. Courts will usually go alongside with this in case you are able to sahgow which you have been in simple terms no longer able to pay the bill and can't pay it in a single shot now..

If you don't respond to a subpoena the court could send out a law enforcement officer to arrest you and bring you to the hearing.

I would have to think you will be held in contempt of court.
