NRS 11.207 provides:
An action against an attorney or veterinarian to recover damages for malpractice, whether based on a breach of duty or contract, must be commenced within 4 years after the plaintiff sustains damage or within 2 years after the plaintiff discovers or through the use of reasonable diligence should have discovered the material facts which constitute the cause of action, whichever occurs earlier.

The answer depends on the particular facts pertaining to your situation. However, generally speaking, you have 2 years to initiate litigation. You could have more time but, again, it depends on the factual circumstances. Best to be conservative and simply assume 2 years.
