    Apart from LEIN, is there anything else everyone is excluding from subpoenas? Specifically, are you removing medical records? TIA

    Unless we have a signed release that specifically states HIPPA, etc. from the subject whose records are being requested, we do remove medical records, yes. Hope this helps!

    Hi, Tammy
    We were advised by Lori Hinkley that police departments and most hospitals/medical offices do not meet the criteria for HIPPA to apply to us. For subpoenas, we release all records and provide them unredacted other than those portions required to be redacted/withheld by statute (LEIN, Crime Victims Rights Act, Firearms Records, etc).
    Have a great day!
