A company I designed a web site for back in 1995 up through 1997 is somehow
involved in a court case. I have been subpoened to provide all business
documents, email, files, etc. relating to this company and/or its officers.
I have some documention that I saved over the years. A meeting is scheduled
for me to provide docs to their legal representative. I am neither the
plaintiff or defendant in the case, just someone they did business with some
years back.

Question is: should I go to the expense of hiring an attorney, or have one
be present at the meeting? Or is this just standard operating provedure in
these kinds of cases and nothing to worry about?

I would not meet with them. I'd send them the documents in the mail.
The subpoena says you must produce the documents, it does not say you
must meet with them. You give them the documents, you've complied with
the subpoena.

P.S. I'm not an attorney.
