If you are given juvenile offender treatment then you won't end up with a record. There is no expungement in the State of New York. If's more that you haven't been in trouble before that will help rather than any of the things you mentioned. As for an ACD, an ACD is where your case gets adjourned, usually for a year but sometimes less. If you don't get into trouble while the case remains open, then on the adjourned date the case is automatically dismissed. You usually get offered only one of these and very rarely a second. But, penalties depend on a lot of factors, including age, criminal history, severity of the charges, amount of pecuniary loss involved, character and remorsefulness of the defendant, how egregious the facts are, was anyone injured, has the defendant cooperated on other prosecutions, etc. I can't offer an opinion without knowing all of the details.
