What is the name of your state (Washington) Hi I was falsely arrested and convicted you a class c felony. I can prove I was not the man involved in the crime and was arrested only because I was drunk in the area where the incident occurred. I was offered a deal of 1 year of alcohol treatment instead of the felony. I turned down the deal because I wanted to sue due to the time I spent in jail. I didn't believe they could convict me of the crime at a jury trial but they did. My public defender went above and beyond to not defend me at the trial and help the prosecutor and kept me in the dark about how she planned to defend me at trial. I was arrested for this incident around 2 in a haft years ago. And at this point my I have lost my appeal and have petitioned the higher court to review the appeals courts decision. Next step would be federal court. My question is if there is a time limit on when I can file a lawsuit. Ya and I don't have money at this time to hire a lawyer to file one. Is this something I can do on my own now and hire a lawyer later. How much would this cost to hire a lawyer to do. Because if there is a time limit I most likely need to file one soon as possible
