Its much shorter than a year depending on whether you pursue State or federal claims. Also, just because your were acquitted does not mean you automatically have a case. There are many factors to consider such as whether you were indicted, whether the judge made a probable cause finding and whether the police withheld evidence. I am a former federal and state prosecutor and now handle these type of cases so feel free to check out my web site and contact me.

If you are suing the Police or the City, you have 90 days to file a notice of claim, otherwise you have at least a year.
