Most people would be satisfied enough in having been acquitted of a crime they were accused of committing. You would want to check with your state laws, but probably not. It depends how serious the crime. If you were charged with murder, stalking, rape these are very serious crimes and if innocent this could still ruin the rest of your life. If it's stealing, dealing drugs or having drugs on you and you are innocent this is also a black mark on your character. By all means seek a lawyer's advice. Clear your name if it's important enough to you. There are many cases where someone has been accused of a crime they didn't commit and received compensation.
