If she has an attorney, you do not want to attend that case management conference without a lawyer. An attorney can at least keep you on a level playing field, and get discovery scheduled and outline the issues for the court. A lot depends on how much she is suing you for. Did you run up a charge account in her name? You and your friend both have problems for fraudulently obtaining credit, especially if the debt wasn't paid. This is not a "do-it-yourself" situation.
