Although statute may require you to keep copies for a certain number of years, I am certain it does not require you to guarantee the veracity of said survey beyond a certain period of time.
If I had an attorney giving me a rough time I would tell her to take a hike. The time and energy it would take her to report you to a board of regulation, have the matter investigated, ruled on and finally acted on would likely exceed the time she has on hand to deal with the reason she need the survey in the first place.
If I was somehow compelled to send out another copy of an old survey I would A) charge a fee for my trouble and B) stamp the survey with a large disclaimer stating it was out of date and not to be relied on. Whoever she gave it to would then likely ask her for a new one. The reason she needs it is likely to pass on some kind of risk.
I deal with attorneys often in my business and the vast majority are great. The ones that are pushy and arrogant I push back on. As long as my rules and ethics are intact I won't capitulate to some uppity lawyer. The pushy ones are banking on the fact that the most of the public don't want to tangle with a lawyer. They are human too. They have limited time and resources just like the rest of us.
