SCRANTON -- A Scranton attorney faces federal and state charges stemming
from his involvement as a court-appointed guardian of estates in Lackawanna
and Wyoming counties. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Ronald Worobey has agreed to plead guilty to federal charges that he
accessed bank accounts to collect more than $100,000 for legal work he did not
do, U.S. Attorney David Barasch said Wednesday. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The felony charge of bank fraud carries a maximum sentence of 30 years in
prison and fines totaling $1 million. Worobey has agreed to cooperate with an
ongoing probe of estates in both counties, Barasch said. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 A statewide grand jury sitting in Lackawanna County handed up theft charges
against Worobey, separate from the federal charge. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Worobey faces 54 counts of theft, each carrying a maximum penalty of seven
years in prison and a $15,000 fine. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Additional charges are expected by the grand jury in connection with
Worobey's employment with Lackawanna County, according to Lackawanna County
District Attorney Michael Barrasse. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Worobey is free pending his arraignment on both sets of charges. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
