Thank you for the post.

A theft offense by swindle can be very serious. An offense over $1000 is a felony. Even in juvenile court that can lead to an adult criminal record if the prosecuter seeks a Extended Juvenile Jurisdiction. Certainly, juvenile detention is also a significant possibility.

Often, if you have no prior offenses, a conviction in juvenile court can be avoided with a Stay of Adjudication.

We can assist you in making sure that your record is not affected.
