Juvenile Lawyer
Vache Edward Bahadurian, Esq. is an experienced juvenile defense lawyer and protects the rights of children accused of violating the law. He meets with the client and parent or guardian, interviews any potential defense witnesses, and reviews the police reports and records in order to prepare and present a persuasive defense. Juvenile delinquency refers to criminal accusations against a minor, underage child or youth. In New Jersey, juvenile matters are filed with the Family Court alleging that a criminal related offense, crime or probation violation was committed by a person under the age of 18. The specific accusations or charges are listed on the juvenile delinquency complaint which is given to the parent or guardian by the police. In most cases, the court requires the juvenile to be represented by a lawyer because the potential penalties and consequences of juvenile delinquency are serious, such as a criminal record, youth detention, probation, community service, suspended driver's license, surcharges, restitution, along with problems with school, college admission, and future career.
Expungement Lawyer
Vache Edward Bahadurian, Esq. has many years of experience as an expungement lawyer. Expungement refers to the legal process to petition the Court for the removal, clearing, sealing, impounding, or isolation of all criminal records on file with any court, probation department, jail, prison, detention or correctional facility, police department, sheriff's department, law enforcement or criminal justice agency associated with an arrest, criminal charges, all court proceedings related to a case, a criminal and/or juvenile conviction, dismissal, and the outcome or disposition of a case, including the sentence from a felony crime or misdemeanor offenses, disorderly persons offenses, petty disorderly person offenses, criminal convictions, deferred dispositions, pretrial intervention (PTI) program records, Conditional Discharge records, dismissed cases, and juvenile records. Mr. Bahadurian first determines if the criminal record is eligible to be sealed or expunged under the law. The expungement process is an important tool for a person to obtain a job since a criminal record may prevent an employer from wanting to hire an otherwise qualified work applicant. When an order for expungement is granted, the arrest, conviction or dismissal, adjudication of juvenile delinquency, disposition, and any related proceedings are considered not to have occurred. The purpose of an expungement is to give a person a “fresh start.”
