Hmmm. The general answer is yes. However, there are exceptions. In law, you have the privilege to not answer questions that might incriminate you (very broad area here), need not disclose anything you said to (or heard from) your attorney, etc.
But you must appear

An actual subpoena is a court order. Yes, it is against the law to refuse to obey a court order.
You can move to quash the subpoena, which is asking the court to let you off the hook. But refusing to answer a court ordered subpoena is grounds for contempt, which can carry significant penalties.
