Re: Declaration

There is no specific format (contact me directly if you would like a sample), as long as you include two key statements:

1. That the information is based on your personal knowledge and you are competent to testify as to the matters declared.

2. That the statement is made under the penalty of perjury of the laws of the State of California.

3. It's also very important that the declaration doesn't have any information that is inconsistent or contradicts the declarant's prior testimony, if any (depositions, admissions, etc...). Such contradictions will render the declaration wholly invalid and inadmissible.
