Good morning,
It is clear that a party in the lawsuit is seeking your testimony or certain information from you. Since there is a motion to punish for contempt based on ignoring the subpoena, you should hire counsel to represent you. Papers should be reviewed and if necessary, opposition should be filed. Most likely, you will need to provide documents and/or appear at a deposition. You should not provide any information without the assistance of counsel.
Feel free to contact me if you'd like to discuss the matter further.

Ignoring the subpoena was a mistake. Retain counsel.
