More details to this question:
I worked for a CPA firm that contractually did auditing for a specific County. One of the Taxpayer audits that I assisted with is issuing me a subpoena related to their appeal of the audit. Would I have an obligation to testify and assist 4 years after I left the firm? How can I avoid having to travel 6 hours and testify. I have another job and other obligations now.

If you are subpoenaed, then you must appear. However I would suggest that you contact the entity/person who issued the subpoena and try to work out some kind of arrangement, like testifing by telephone.
