Mitchiner Law is on a mission to not just provide quality legal services but to explain the jargon that goes along with it. Today, we are focusing on explaining affidavits.


Affidavits


If you have ever watched a law show or movie, you probably heard the term affidavit, but do you know what it means? An affidavit, while simple, is quite an important document involved in legal matters.

An affidavit, simply put, is the written version of swearing to tell the truth. And that means if your document contains anything other than the truth, you can face significant legal charges.


Affidavits are not only used in court, though it is common. Many government forms you sign include affidavits. Did you know you sign an affidavit when applying for a driver’s license, registering a vehicle, to vote, and carry a weapon?


Still have questions about an affidavit or need representation, reach out to Mitchiner Law to learn more.
