Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania

MY friend went into his old house tgat he moved outta a yr ago for some old things, the cops came before anything was taken or broken. And no one lived in the house since he moved out. He waited till the owner left his bar (which is the next building over) to go inside his old house. His charges include burglary,crimnal mischief,criminal tresspassing and conspiracy. if nothin was taken or broken and no one was home but there is a sworn statement from a minor who is a neighbor saying his brother was also there. what are the changes of neither one doing time? his brother wasnt charged and a warrant wasnt dropped till almost a week later (she got mad at him and put a statement after the fact) now his brother has more charges than he does and his brother wasnt even caught therre. If they get charged,whats the most time they can do (both have priors for simular charges but only the brother was currently on probation anf hmy friends prior was years ago. he has never did jail time in philly before and has only been convicted of misdemeanors

The charges could be serious and felonies as well. You need an attorney.
