What is the statue of limitations in louisiana?

in oct 2006 I put a down payment on a mobile home i am taking over the notes on. the real estate agent said it would go towards the trailer so i wrote it on the check.( down payment for 1995 mobile home and the serial number) nov 2007 i found out the owner never asked for a down payment nor did she receive one, neither did the finance company. He now says to me it was his fees and to the seller it was his commission, I also found out the seller was charged 250.00 in fees, i then filed charges with the DA , now I am told to take it to court . am i to late?

down payment was 3500.00

You're inside the SoL, but you may have problems with the LA "Statute of Frauds", which requires all real estate contra cs to be in writing.

I'd also go to the board that licenses RE agents - the agent seems, at least, to be in violation of the rules of professional conduct.

Statutes of limitations are different for different issues. Each state may have their own time limits as well. A local lawyer may charge you, but it may be worth 10 minutes of legal advice from a lawyer who is familiar with the local laws.

Statutes usually last years, not months. File your charges, or go after them in small claims court.
