If you have reasonable enough cause to file a law suit yes you can. But it all depends on the reason behind it and if you can find a lawyer that will take the case.

Yes, it is possible to sue for malicious prosecution after a forgery charge is dismissed by the District Attorney or if someone is found not guilty by a jury. To succeed in a malicious prosecution lawsuit, you would generally need to prove that the prosecution was brought without probable cause, initiated for malicious motives, and resulted in damage to your reputation, liberty, or finances. It is advisable to consult with a qualified attorney to understand the specific laws and requirements in your jurisdiction.
