What type of attorney should review suspected forged documents, PII misuse, and device-access concerns?

I am asking for general legal direction only. I am not posting names, addresses, docket numbers, screenshots, or documents because this is a public forum.

I am in North Dakota. I am trying to determine what type of attorney should review a situation involving suspected forged signatures or unauthorized legal documents, possible misuse of personal identifying information, and possible unauthorized access to personal electronic devices or online accounts.

Some of the documents I am concerned about may involve affidavits, waiver-style documents, power-of-attorney-style documents, or other records that could affect personal rights or identity. I also have concerns about whether personal identifying information from prior public filings may have been misused by private individuals.

My main question is whether this should be approached as a civil-rights issue, or whether I should first consult a fraud/forgery attorney, identity-theft attorney, cyber/privacy attorney, or landlord-tenant attorney.

What facts or documents would usually be needed before a civil-rights attorney could determine whether there is a viable civil-rights claim?

I imagine that a single attorney could handle all three of those. They are not unrelated. Start by googling identity theft attorney for your city and make a few phone calls.

Whoever answers the phone ask:

"Could I speak to an attorney who can handle a situation involving suspected forged signatures or unauthorized legal documents, possible misuse of personal identifying information, and possible unauthorized access to personal electronic devices or online accounts."

Go from there.

Be prepared to pay a retainer against an hourly rate. I doubt that any attorney is going to take your situation on a contingency.

Civil-rights issues involve discrimination against a protected class. Nothing you have written suggest that.

I know a lot about landlord tenant law and what you have written does not suggest any landlord-tenant statutory violations.

That's the best I can do based on what little you have alluded to.

You might get better suggestions if you told us who did what to you without naming names.
