| SUGGESTIONS Please consider the following suggestions to help you get records on time and at a minimum of costs. 1. If your jurisdiction permits. Consider, in lieu of the Records Custodian physically go to and appearing at the records deposition, set a mail-return date 3 to 5 days before the scheduled records deposition date for the records custodian to mail you the records attested to as true and correct copies of the records subpoenaed. Most Records Custodian do not want to take a 1/2 a day to physically appear at a deposition and may quickly opt to produce the records via mail. 2. Include a coverletter from your office to be delivered with your subpoena, clearly describing --- the record under subpoena (try not to write the coverletter like a lawyer) --- list a contact name at your office with a direct telephone number (include extension #) and an email address. --- Importantly, invite the Record Custodian to call or eMail your office with questions. 3. Include a form to the Records Custodian (served with subpoena) that encourages the Record Custodian to use the form as a convenient way to authenticate the records being produced (if possible avoid forms needing notary) see sample Certificate of Custodian of Records) 4. Include a SASE envelope (i.e., US Priority envelope, FedEx box) with the served subpoena duces tecum for the Record Custodian to opt using using instead of physically appearing at a record deposition. The point here is that you want the records and the Record Custodian has the records you want. and your subpoena duces tecum is a pain-n-the-ass of the Record Custodian. Use some sugar! Some aloha! And, dont be shy or arrogant in the coverletter. |
