CityLegalGuide.com is owned and managed by Mast Advertising & Publishing, Inc. Our company was founded in 1959 to publish telephone directories as sales agent for local telephone companies. Mast, along with its contemporaries in the yellow page industry L.M. Berry & Co and RH Donnelley, published most of the telephone directories in the United States for several decades. For a partial list of some of the more than 500 communities Mast has published telephone directories in during its long history, click here. Previously owned by Continental Telephone Company, as well as by original RBOC SouthWestern Bell, Mast is now wholly owned by its management team.

Mast has embraced many technological developments in the directory business over the past 45 years, and has constantly strived to produce a better product for its information-hungry users.

This web site is a continuation of Mast's commitment to provide useful information to the public and to help its advertisers reach customers just as it has been doing since the days of small one-color yellow page ads in 1959. The delivery method may now be different, but our users and advertiser clients can count on our proven history of superior customer service, professional sales reps, and responsive production teams.

COMPANY PRINCIPALS

CityLegalGuide.com operates with a small, efficient in-house staff with the help of many vendors and support personnel. Its principals include Dallas Shewmaker, President and CEO, and Kyle Orlowski, who heads up Sales for this site. We want our users and clients to have as much of a personal connection with us as possible, and not feel stuck with the often faceless anonymity of the Internet. You're welcome to contact us to discuss your business needs as warranted.

In a recent interview, Shewmaker shared his perspectives on Mast's latest project: "I'm not some 25-year-old wunderkind that maybe has the latest greatest Internet idea. I do, however, have 25 years of entrepreneurial experience in the rough and tumble world of advertising and publishing, most of which was spent competing against multi-billion dollar telephone companies for small-business yellow page advertising budgets. This site is not about technology, it's all about our old-fashioned directory publishing practice of serving the needs of users and advertisers, with a clear path to profitability to ensure long-term success. We're focused only on simultaneously providing free helpful information to our users while providing visibility to our attorney advertisers at a reasonable cost. This practice must work - Mast has been at it for 45 years now!"

Commenting on our relationship with our attorney sponsors, Shewmaker continues: "Effectiveness for advertisers starts with the logical targeted content and audience of the chosen media, and CityLegalGuide.com has the desired content for the most targeted audience any attorney could ask for - those looking for immediate, easy-to-find and accurate localized legal information. There are countless thousands of internet users in each community to whom we heavily promote our site. Any qualified law firm can be there in front of them all year long at any time of need for less than the value of an hour or two of billable time.
