Learning How To Obtain Phone Records

Updated on July 13, 2010

There are a few different situations in which someone would need to know how to subpoena cell phone records.  If someone was being harassed for instance or getting threatening phone calls, they could have that person’s cell phone records subpoenaed to prove that it was them.  If you are pressing charges against someone for harassment or going through a divorce case, eventually you are going to want to know how to subpoena cell phone records.  To get your own records you should be able to just call up your telephone service provider and let them know what you need.

 It may not be that easy however, considering that several laws have been passed recently on the protection of phone records.  This comes after there have been so many hackers who have impersonated people in order to obtain their phone records illegally.  The only way to actually be able to get a subpoena for cell phone records is if you had an attorney.  They could be potentially dangerous situations and it is always best to be safe rather than sorry.

 Before you can do any of this you are going to have to find yourself a good lawyer.  Especially if it is harassment that you are dealing with, you are not going to want to wait any longer.  Most cases of harassment turn violent so it is important to alert the authorities immediately.  It is always better to be safe rather than sorry.

 When you are looking for a lawyer one of the most important things to consider is how long they have been practicing for.  You definitely want to find a lawyer that has at least a few years experience in the field.  Most lawyers will be honest as to whether they think you have a good chance of winning or not.  This way you can be sure that you are picking the right lawyer for your case.

 If you need to know how to subpoena cell phone records you may have heard ideas on how to do it illegally.  While in some cases this may seem to be the easier route to take, you can get in a lot of trouble if you get caught.  You can get in serious trouble for doing this however and so it is always best to find a lawyer and do things right.  It may cost you a bit more money in the end but remember that you are only going to be able to use these records in your court case if they are legal anyway.
