A Scranton attorney was sentenced to nearly 2 years in prison for stealing from his clients. Eugene Daniel Lucas pleaded guilty to five counts of theft by deception in February and was sentenced this week to three to 23 months in jail by Lackawanna County Judge James Gibbons. Once he's released, Lucas will be on probation for one year and be required to do 150 hours of community service, and be required to pay restitution to his victims and to pay $10,656 . Prosecutors said Lucas deceived clients promising to pay them back with interest.
