About Erin Whelan
Erin Whelan Pennock earned her J.D. from New England Law | Boston in 2004 after completing a B.A. in English and Psychology at Bucknell University in 1998. Her academic background blends the analytical study of literature with social science perspectives. That combination shaped an early interest in the law and in client communication.
Her legal career began in the mid-2000s. She joined Lovenberg & Associates as an associate in 2007. That role provided courtroom exposure and day-to-day client work. In 2011 she took on an of counsel position at Black & Vitelli, LLC, stepping into a role that allowed more responsibility on case strategy and mentoring younger attorneys. In 2018 she opened her own practice as the principal of the Law Office of Erin Whelan Pennock, LLC.
Pennock is licensed to practice in Massachusetts and has been a member of the Massachusetts State Bar since 2007. She is also a Notary Public for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, a credential that complements her practice by making certain transaction services more readily available to clients. Her professional path shows steady movement from associate roles into leadership and independent practice.
Outside the office she has contributed time to pro bono and volunteer efforts. Since 2011 she has served as a volunteer lawyer with the Womens Bar Association Volunteer Lawyers Project. That work involves direct client service through a nonprofit program and reflects ongoing community involvement rather than a side project. It is part of how she has stayed connected to the public-facing aspects of legal work over the years.
Colleagues describe her practice as steady and practical; clients tend to value straightforward explanations and clear expectations about process and timing. She has handled matters that require close attention to procedural detail and clear client communication. Her background in English and psychology appears to inform how she frames legal issues and how she guides clients through decisions.
Today she leads the Law Office of Erin Whelan Pennock, LLC, operating in Massachusetts. Her work includes representation, counseling, and notarial services for clients in the state. Her current practice focuses on providing legal services to clients in Massachusetts, including representation and notarial acts.
