    Default Son Charged with Theft

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Washington.
    My 18 year old son was charged with theft in the third degree. Does he need to get a lawyer? I think there will be 6 counts but I don't really know what this means. What should we expect on his court date?

    Yes he needs an Attorney! What is dollar value of thefts? Does it exceed Felony levels?

    Six counts means that he committed the same crime six times.

    Yep - he needs an attorney. They can charge him for a FEDERAL level crime for tampering with the mail.

    If his ticket says Theft 3rd degree can it be changed to a federal crime?
