Shalom Maidenbaum and Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman

On Long Island, Shalom Maidenbaum has made a name for himself in the field of property tax law, leading a firm that specializes in tax certiorari services. Their work revolves around helping homeowners and businesses challenge property tax assessments, ensuring they align with fair market values. Beyond his professional endeavors, Maidenbaum himself has become a quiet but impactful force in philanthropy, contributing to causes that span health, security, and education for children with special needs.

Leveling the Playing Field in Property Taxes

The Maidenbaum Property Tax Reduction Group (MPTRG) has built its reputation on the belief that property tax challenges should not be limited to the wealthy or well-connected. The firm has made its services accessible to middle-class homeowners, allowing them to address discrepancies in assessments that could otherwise go unnoticed. He and his team of lawyers view this work as not just a service but as an essential check on a system that impacts the financial well-being of countless families and businesses.

“Accurate assessments are not just about numbers; they’re about fairness,” Maidenbaum explains. “Our role is to ensure that no one pays more than their fair share.”

Supporting Health and Wellness

Outside his work, Maidenbaum has directed significant resources toward health-related philanthropies.

Mt Sinai’s Healthcare Heroes

His and MPTRG’s support has included funding for medical research, healthcare programs, and organizations that assist individuals facing critical health challenges such as Mount Sinai Medical Center. This commitment stems from his belief in the importance of accessible healthcare for all, a value that aligns with the ethos of fairness he brings to his professional life.

Strengthening Bonds with Israel

A dedicated supporter of Israel, Maidenbaum and his firm actively contributes to organizations focused on the country’s safety and security. These efforts include backing initiatives that promote peace, provide aid and vital resources to underserved communities, and bolster educational opportunities within the region. His involvement reflects a personal and professional commitment to fostering stability and opportunity in a region he holds close to his heart.

Empowering Individuals with Special Needs

MPTRG Philanthropic Check

One of Maidenbaum’s most personal philanthropic focuses is on individuals with special needs. His contributions to groups such as the Disability Opportunity Fund have supported programs that help improve the quality of life and build personal wealth for People with Disabilities and their families, and support organizations serving these communities.

By aiding these initiatives, MPTRG’s team seeks to create environments where people with unique challenges can thrive and reach their potential.

 

A Quiet Legacy

While many Long Islanders know the name Maidenbaum for their work in property tax law, their influence extends far beyond courtrooms and assessment rolls. The firm’s contributions to community well-being, from health programs to education and international aid, demonstrate a multifaceted approach to improving lives.

For Shalom Maidenbaum, his family and the firm that bears his name, success isn’t measured solely by wins in property tax disputes but by the broader impact he can make. Whether through advocacy for fairness in taxation or philanthropic efforts, Maidenbaum’s work underscores the power of combining professional expertise with a commitment to community betterment.

Far Too Often, Promises Have Proved Empty; Niagara Falls Needs Progress And Strategic Planning

By tony Farina · August 4, 2026

By Tony Farina Promises are nice and they bring hope for the future.

Governor Issues Response To McMurray’s Letter on Slag Concerns

By tony Farina · August 4, 2026

By Tony Farina The radioactive slag bubbling up across Niagara County in recent weeks, triggering state and federal testing and some remedial work and family relocations, is the ongoing and seemingly never-ending legacy of the environmental desecration of the past 100-plus years by massive corporations dumping toxic waste that was the subject of Christen Civiletto’s book Thundering Waters. “What we have again is an environmental storm,” said attorney and former Grand Island Supervisor Nate McMurray, a candidate for election to the 45th District State Assembly seat now open because of the retirement of Angelo Morinello. McMurray will run for the
