Don't you just hate when you're trying to earn a living and some lawyer just doesn't care and subpoenas you to appear in court?
Here's the first step. Call the attorney who subpoenaed you and see if there is some way you can work this out. If all parties agree you may be able to appear through technology, or have your video deposition taken in advance.
If the lawyer is unable or unwilling to work with you, then you should request a protective order from the court. I suggest you contact the judge's judicial assistant who may be able to hep you schedule a hearing before the judge. I suggest you have some documents showing that you must be out of town during the time you are under subpoena.
Hopefully you can work this out.
