Can you have your attorney write an affidavit for you and you just sign it?

What are the consequences of not reading and just signing it. Especially if an attorney wrote lies within the court filing?

    You should have read it before you signed it. Biggest mistake, sorry to tell you.

    An affidavit is provided as a type of evidence, sworn under pain of perjury to be true, of your personal knowledge and belief. The attorney could draft it from interviewing you, but it is your oath that is sworn on it, so it is presumed that you have read each and every word of your statement and sworn that each and every statement is true.
