Not in the usual form, but a record will exist.  The term used by the courts is “adjudicated delinquent”, rather than “convicted”, although the two are often used interchangeably.  If adjudicated delinquent, your child will have a juvenile record that can be accessed by others in certain situations (for example, by a school).  That record can be expunged at some point in the future, although it can still create problems along the way.  I can also petition to have the juvenile records sealed.  To discuss defense options or the possibility of expunging or sealing an existing record, call my office for a free case review.
