Deffinately contact an aviation attorney for any meeting with the feds. Even if they assure "it's no big deal". Filling out a NASA form was a good first step, but now that you know things are going farther, you need some advice that has experiance with the FAA.
Most Feds are good guys who mearly want to keep things safe, however there are a several bad apples out there that would like hang your head on their wall. I know, I met one and it did not end well.
The attorney can't make things magicly OK, but they can make the FSDO inspectors actually adhere to their own rules (which they often don't). He can help you avoid putting your foot in your mouth. If you are a good law abiding pilot and instructor, then you should be OK. However you need an atorney to watch your back if a FSDO inspector paints a target on it.
