By being evasive about the actual specifics of your case, you have made your question too vague to answer. I can tell you that I know of no statute of limitations for a civil cause of action that is affected by either party being charged or convicted of a misdemeanor. Other than that, I have no idea what you are talking about.
The attorney who is filing your case had better file it within the two years, or whatever the legal time limit is, or you'll be out of luck.
The only situation where you can go beyond the 2 years (if this is a personal injury action - not medical malpractice) is if you were legally incapacited (such as being in a coma) or the defendant was out of California for a certain period of time, which might toll the statute of limitation. Your question is just too vague to answer properly.
