While Beth Maloney is able to assist nationwide as an advocate or expert witness, she is only admitted to practice law in California and Maine. Â Please see BIO in the main menu to learn more about her skills and experience.
Ms. Maloney offers her services as an advocate and consultant to parents and caregivers across the country via telephone and Skype.  Although she is not a doctor and does not offer medical advice, she has been instrumental in the recovery of many children and often speaks directly with the children’s physicians. As the leading national advocate for recognition of this disorder and the author of two books on PANDAS/PANS, she is up to date on the most current treatment and research.
 One area of deep concern is when doctors and hospitals refuse to offer correct treatment and will sometimes use the state to take custody of sick children. Allegations leveled at parents fall under the umbrella of “medical child abuse.” It is crucial that families obtain appropriate guidance at the earliest point in time to avoid the devastation of a child protection proceeding. These court actions are emotionally and financially debilitating and may drag on for many months. Navigating this challenge with knowlegeable advice at the outset may help avoid needless heartbreak.
Ms. Maloney assists by consulting in a variety of other matters for PANDAS/PANS children including custody disputes between parents and in helping to obtain for children the educational support mandated under the applicable provisions of federal and state laws: special education (IEP’s) and Section 504. Her wide range of legal experience is more fully discussed on the BIO page.
 Consulting and, when appropriate, legal services can be arranged on an individual basis.  An attorney client relationship is not created without a formal engagement.  Please contact her to discuss the scope of services and fees.
