About Erin Amanda
Erin Amanda Novak is an attorney licensed to practice in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey. She holds an active membership in the Pennsylvania State Bar and has built a practice that serves clients across state lines. Colleagues describe her as methodical in approach and practical in court, preferring clear legal argument over flourish.
After completing law school, Novak entered private practice. Early in her career she worked on matters that required cross-jurisdictional coordination, giving her experience handling procedural and substantive differences between neighboring state systems. That grounding shaped the way she approaches cases: attentive to process, attentive to detail, and alert to the tactical choices that can alter a case’s course.
Novak later joined Montgomery McCracken Walker & Rhoads, LLP, where she became part of a larger litigation and advisory team. At the firm she has collaborated with partners and associates on engagements that involve state and federal filings, client counseling, and negotiation. Her role involves preparing pleadings, managing discovery, and advising clients on short- and long-term legal risks. She is known at the firm for careful file management and thorough preparation for hearings and depositions.
Outside of firm matters, Novak maintains active ties to the bar in Pennsylvania. She participates in bar meetings and contributes to practice discussions among peers. Those activities keep her current on local procedural developments and help her maintain a network of contacts across state courts and administrative bodies.
Novak’s work often requires balancing legal strategy with practical business concerns. She assists clients in assessing litigation risk and in deciding when to litigate and when to negotiate. Her practice has involved drafting agreements, responding to regulatory inquiries, and guiding clients through contested proceedings. She approaches each engagement by breaking problems into manageable parts and mapping out a path forward.
In day-to-day practice Novak blends courtroom preparation with client-facing counseling. She handles matters that arise in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey and coordinates filings and responses across jurisdictions when needed. She is based at Montgomery McCracken Walker & Rhoads, LLP and currently concentrates her practice on legal matters affecting clients in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
