If you fail to show up on a validly issued subpoena that was validly served on you, the judge will issue a warrant for your arrest, ultimately you will be arrested and jailed and face possible contempt of court issues for failing to honor the subpoena. You can hire your own lawyer to try to quash the subpoena if there is a basis to do that.
