    If you get a lawyer you can "make" the party subpoenaing you pay for it in some cases. At a minimum you will be deposed - you should probably learn how to handle a deposition or at least have someone coach you on this. Testifying in court is a breeze - depositions can be a bitch.
    What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

    This was my thought... uh the OP is a witness, he's not on trial here. Why get a lawyer? Forgive me for not having ever been a witness in a trail, but one would think there is no chance of any charges or anything bad happening to a witness who did nothing wrong and simply just tells the truth in what they saw...

    One would think but I have seen crazier things happen to witnesses on the stand.

    I was speaking from a legal standpoint, not murder of witnesses...
