How do I file a motion to quash a subpoena?

Filing a motion to quash a subpoena in Hawaii is very similar to other jurisdictions. First, you must prepare a motion and serve it on the person who requested the subpoena. Your motion should explain why the subpoena should be quashed and provide sufficient evidence to support your request. You must also file the motion with the court where the subpoena was issued, and serve a copy on each of the parties involved. When filing your motion, you must also provide the court clerk with any additional documents and documentation that support your request. Once the motion is filed, the court will set a hearing date to consider your request. At the hearing, you will be able to present your evidence and argument in support of your motion to quash. The opposing party will also have a chance to present their opposing argument to the court. Once the hearing is complete, the court may make a decision on the spot or set a date for a ruling. If the court agrees with your motion, the subpoena will be quashed and the person who requested it will no longer be able to pursue the matter. However, if the court decides against your motion, the subpoena will remain in effect and the person who requested it will be able to continue their pursuit of the matter.
