Greetings. It appears you are looking to sue and want to make sure you are within the statute of limitations. In New York, when a professional seeks to sue for nonpayment of professional fees, they generally must sue within six years. However, an action for nonpayment may accrue at different times depending on the type of claim brought, such as quantum meruit, breach of contract, or account stated. Finally, the six years may be shortened contractually. It is always best to bring specific circumstances to an attorney for review.
