Legal Question in Legal Malpractice in New York

How many years do I have to file a lawsuit against a lawyer for my adversary based upon New York Judiciary Law Section 487? Deception of court and me occurred 8 years ago but evidence that may prove the deception emerged just 6 months ago in unrelated court proceedings. The discovery rule tolls the statute of limitation in this case?
