Does an attorney have the power to supena someone to testify?

Filed Under legal 

Michelle asked:


I was just mailed a supena, signed by an attorney requesting me to testify at a divorce trial. Am I in contempt if I do not show? I received this supena via regular mail, not certified. I had called and spoke with the receptionist requesting an order from the bench. The attorney has not returned my call. What do I do?
