WA state privacy laws and federal privacy act, violation of privacy by former co worker, rights against coworker and employer

A former Co worker quit showing up to work. I later found out that they had entered my email and printed many private conversations i had had with friends. They are now using them to fight for unemployment bennifits under "Hostile working environment" My employeer says not to worry but clearly I am. I dont know what they have, i dont know who they have showed it to. Should i get a lawyer of my own? What are my rights? Should i be on the offensive?

Q:Should i get a lawyer of my own?

A:Yes, you have had your privacy violated. Check out the link below to see what that means in a famous east coast case that is playing out like a soap opera. (ignore the picture of Michael Jackson on the link's post). You are right to go on the offensive. A strong investigation by your lawyer may just back everyone down.

Good luck.
