What can happen to my son if criminal charges were filed?

You should contact a criminal defense attorney right away. She/he can contact the detectives and/or DA, and discuss the situation before it gets filed; might prevent or negotiate the case before it hits court. If charges are filed, he will need a good lawyer to assist him. There are several charges that could be filed, all theft related. Je certainly doesn't want any felony conviction on his record if he can avoid it, and there are ways. By the way, it is a common misconception that the victim "presses charges." The government files charges (or the grand jury indicts). The victim can report the crime but it is up to the government to prosecute.

What's going to happen if I was caught stealing?

Could be convicted. Max penalty is one year in jail and a $5,000.00 fine however, based upon the amount stolen, it could also be charged as a felony, which is far more serious. However, even if the judge suspends all jail time, you still have a conviction on your record. What do you think that is going to do for job prospects?

What should I do if our attorney is charging us more money that we can't afford?

Wow. I'd like some more information on this one. I have never heard of a contract in a criminal case retaining an attorney for a specific time period. It is common to retain a criminal attorney through a particular stage of the proceedings (e.g. Preliminary hearing), but not through a certain month. Sometimes the retainer is on an hourly basis, but that again is much different. And there are certain standards that apply to these contracts that can determine whether or not they are enforceable. Before any attorney can advise you on this he/she is going to want to see the contact. I will say this: in most circumstances in criminal cases, you have the right to hire another attorney, subject to some terms of the contact you signed (you did sign one, right?). On the other hand, you may be able to enforce the contact against the attorney who is obligated to comply with it's terms, depending on what it says. Again, you would be well advised to have another attorney look into the contact situation.
