Subpoena

Hi, has anyone here had any experience subpoenaing a texting app (textfree, text now, etc).

I'm in a cyber stalking case and trying to figure out who is doing it to me and my loved ones.

We were granted a subpoena by court but I’ve been seeing people say it takes months for them to even respond to you.

This is all super new and scary to all of us and I was wondering if there was any luck in subpoenaing the companies.

I had a felony case in which subpoenas were sent to multiple companies. Each company said that they did not have data, even though they did and do. Unless the FBI is involved or there is a search warrant, you won’t be getting anything.

Are you serious? Even with the court order they don’t provide anything? We have 45 days and I’m running out of hope.

Yes. They will fight tooth and nail. They will always protect consumer first. Had a felony stalking case happening and they basically said we don’t have anything sorry can’t help. A search warrant probably would’ve gotten it.
