Scott Golightly

Attorney

Although life has taught us to “always be prepared” and “expect the unexpected,” only about 40% of Americans have actually taken the time to prepare a plan to handle their affairs after death or disability. That’s simply not good enough. In fact, I’ve witnessed firsthand what not having a plan in place can do, sometimes resulting in the complete self-destruction of a family or business.

As an estate planning attorney, my passion is to help families plan for and successfully navigate the unexpected and inevitable events in life. Specifically, my job is to ensure that (1) personal and family goals are realized, (2) risks and expenses are minimized, and (3) peace of mind is achieved.

I take pride in providing each of my clients with personal attention, timely assistance, clear communication, and excellent results. I explain, in plain English, the available options and my recommendations based on the client’s specific situation. Working together, we then develop and implement a carefully tailored plan to ensure that the client’s objectives are achieved.

Joe Manriquez is dedicated to helping families and small business owners prepare for life’s unexpected and inevitable events. He works closely with clients to ensure their goals are met, risks are minimized, and peace of mind is achieved.

Known for his personal attention, clear communication, and practical guidance, Joe is committed to delivering excellent results.

Outside of work, Joe enjoys spending time with his family, walking his dog, DIY home projects, and cheering on the Hawkeyes.
