Over the years he has taken cases into federal court and argued matters before the Third Circuit, holding admissions to the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, in addition to Pennsylvania state courts.
Mulcahey’s professional life blends courtroom work and community involvement. He has been active in local and national bar organizations, including the Lackawanna County Bar Association, the Pennsylvania Bar Association, and the American Bar Association.

Outside the bar, he served on the board of the Scranton Club from 2005 to 2009 and was its president from 2009 to 2011.
Certifications form a distinct part of his résumé. He holds Board Certification from the National Board of Trial Advocacy in both Civil Pre-Trial Advocacy and Civil Trial Advocacy. Those credentials indicate formal recognition of courtroom and pre-trial skills under the NBTA’s standards. They inform the kind of work he takes and how colleagues and clients may evaluate his trial capabilities.
