Your juvenile record cannot be used against you but one danger you face it that the offense could be refiled as a felony based on the injuries. You may have a defense if you were protecting yourself and used reasonable force. Ask your attorney to advise you about the best course of action to take. I have handled many similar cases and usually they can be resolved without a trial, but not always.
