How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Review an Affidavit of Marriage in Ohio

In 2025, a personal client in Ohio posted a project seeking assistance with an affidavit related to an international citizenship application. The client required a notarized statement from an attorney confirming that, under Ohio law in 1916, a marriage could not be deemed legally valid without a recorded marriage license or certificate. They had already obtained a court-issued certificate affirming the absence of any marriage record for their grandparents in Ohio and needed the affidavit to clearly cite relevant laws and validate this absence. As a result, the client received one proposal from a licensed lawyer, with a flat fee bid of $700, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of less than one week.
