Gallion & Spielvogel: We Are Not Worthy
Apparently our IP address is insufficiently prestigious to access their website, gsbarristers.com:
Messrs. Gallion & Spielvogel, we have a message for you. You style yourselves “barristers,” even though you went to U.S. law schools — Georgetown (Gallion) and U. Penn (Spielvogel) — and have no apparent barristers’ qualifications. Your lengthy and self-aggrandizing bios disclose no Inn of Court training nor pupillage experience. This is highly dubious (and questionable as a form of lawyer advertising).
So here’s what we have to say to you:
Gentlemen, we went to law school with barristers. We have blogged alongside barristers. Barristers are our friends. And you, gentlemen, are no barristers.
You are just two litigators. In Long Island.

Their registry expires on February 16, 2007, a matter of weeks. Services often bill on yearly intervals, and domain registries renew on the same schedule.
My guess is it's a payment problem.
where are their powdered wigs?
Don't take it personally, Lat -- that's a configuration problem.
I gotta say, reading about the Web site-hosting woes of the rest of the world does not make for very interesting reading -- and your screen shots of them are butt-ugly. Obviously, it's a current concern for you, given your own recent outages, but I'd be surprised if that was shared widely.
Give me Judges on a Plane any day.
Fortunately, FindLaw reveals they still have some Internet presence:

They also have the following two domain names:
http://www.internalinvestigationlaw.com
http://www.nationalbusinesslitigation.com
I must say, Garden City is a very fine city, and prestigious as far as residential addresses go.
ass clowns
Interesting. When I click the link from ATL, I get the "forbidden" error. When I load the page on my own, it's fine.
They're blocking traffic referred through ATL
that last comment was cold.
It is true, well sort of.
Through ATL I get nothing. On my own I get to the tres minimalist page.
Garden City has really good shopping. Like Jersey.

right on. roosevelt field has many prestious shops. like nordstrom's
As a fairly new reader here (yes, I discovered this site due the excellent pay-raise coverage), I'm a little confused. And I don't want to be...I want to join in the fun and laughter everyone else is experiencing.
So...here is my confusion: Why is it that this firm is attacked and ridiculed?
C'mon...help me out... I want to get it!
spielvogel can run but he can't hide...

2:49 PM: Read this post, ESPECIALLY the comments, which include excerpts from the now vanished gsbarristers.com site:

2:14, you are completely correct. Though all they have is a placeholder at this time, they seem to be banning Lat and ATL feeds.
I wonder why...?
Funny, the 4 INBLF officers are the 4 lawyers in Gallion & Spielvogel
In reference to the last line of the post, it's "on" Long Island, not "in" Long Island.
And Long Island possesses many prestigious, esteemed and elite lawyers and firms, Messrs. Gallion and Spielvogel notwithstanding.

David,
I'm sure you're probably posting in jest, but just in case: try adding "www." in front of the URL you're linking to. Some webhosts don't configure their sites to be accessible without the "www". Why? No idea.
According to Martindale.com, Gallion & Spielvogel are now located in Rockefeller Center. Also, Mr. Gallion's bio on Matrindale lists his Georgetown journal as the (extant) "Georgetown Law Journal" and not the non-existent (yet indubitably more eminent and prestigious-sounding) "Georgetown Law Review" as was the case on the much-missed original www.gsbarristers.com.

Apparently G&S has two offices with the main office on Long Island (what the barrester web lists as main office), and a branch office on Rockefeller Center.
Damn, even their server address is 1.3.37.
If you don't get it, that's ok.
