    Yes you are convicted of a felony if you plead guilty to a felony.

    I would say so, only you know what you actually plead guility to, if you did a plea bargain was the orgainal charge reduced, often they are.
    So look at your exact record, look at the exact charge ( not just name of the crime but the specific number of the crime and cross reference to the state law and see if that was a felony.

    But pleading guility is a conviction
