The recording of the firm's annual CPD presentation, posted under akclr.com.au. December 2026.
Working draft. Sixty seconds at conversational pace. Aaron, to camera. Quiet office setting. One uncut take.
If you are here, something has gone wrong. Maybe you have been arrested. Maybe the police have rung. Maybe you have been told a charge is coming. Whatever has happened, you are here, and you are looking for the right phone call to make.
My name is Aaron Kernaghan. I am Special Counsel at Good Legal Lawyers and I have spent more than twenty-six years defending serious criminal matters in NSW and the ACT.
When you phone the number on this page, you speak to me. Not to a receptionist who takes your message. Not to a junior who reads it back to me later. To me. We talk about the matter. I tell you what the realistic range of outcomes looks like on the facts as you describe them. I tell you what I would charge if you decide to engage the firm. And I tell you what would have to happen in the next thirty days.
If your matter is one we are not the right firm for, I tell you that too. That conversation is confidential whether you engage us or not.
The number is on the page. Use it.
