You should retain a good criminal lawyer to handle the case. If you are young and in a large city you will probably get probation, but you will be a convicted felon and find it very hard to get government benefits, a decent job, or to travel for the rest of your life. If you get arrested again you will get a jail or prison term for any felony conviction as a predicate felon.

With a good attorney, anything is possible. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced criminal defense attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your case. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.

In the State of WA Burglary is a Class B felony. If that is what you are charged with the low end Burg 2nd with no points is 1-3 months with 0-3 month possible however with the added felony for theft that would give you an offender score of 1 and so the range is 3 - 8 months. Get a good experienced criminal defense attorney.

Well it depends on the maximum for the crimes, your past record, the facts of the crimes. Without knowing more I can't answer this question.
