Baginski Brandt & Brandt

Baginski Brandt & Brandt is a dedicated family law and criminal defense firm serving the Port St. Lucie area and the broader St. Lucie and Martin County regions. Founded in 2016 through the partnership of Arthur B. Brandt and Julia Baginski Brandt, the firm brings together complementary expertise, shared values, and genuine commitment to serving clients through their most challenging legal matters. The firm's location at 8483 South US Highway 1 in Port St. Lucie provides convenient access for clients throughout the Treasure Coast area.

Arthur B. Brandt brings substantial legal experience and deep community roots to Baginski Brandt & Brandt. He has been a member of the Florida Bar since 1997, holding his law license for over twenty-five years. Arthur is a graduate of American University in Washington, D.C., where he earned his undergraduate degree in Communications, Legal Institutions, Economics and Government—a combination of studies that provided excellent preparation for law school and legal practice. He went on to attend the University of Miami School of Law in Coral Gables, one of Florida's most respected law schools. Since completing law school, Arthur has maintained a law practice continuously for over two and a half decades.

Arthur has been a partner and owner of his law practice since 2000, demonstrating his ability to not only practice law competently but to build and manage a successful law firm. This twenty-plus years of ownership experience provides valuable perspective on business management, client relations, and the administrative complexities of operating a professional law practice. Before partnering with Julia Baginski in 2016, Arthur had already established himself as a trusted legal resource in the Port St. Lucie and Martin County area.

Julia Baginski Brandt brings her own substantial expertise and successful legal practice background to the firm. Julia has practiced law in Florida for nearly two decades, demonstrating long-term commitment to legal excellence and client service. Before joining forces with Arthur Brandt in 2016, Julia led a successful solo family law practice for ten years, during which she built a strong reputation and developed extensive experience in handling family law matters independently. Her decision to partner with Arthur Brandt in 2016 reflects a strategic choice to combine complementary skills and expand the firm's ability to serve clients' comprehensive legal needs.

Together, Arthur and Julia have created a law firm that combines individual expertise with collaborative partnership. The firm's practice spans a comprehensive range of family law matters, criminal defense, and personal injury cases. In family law, Baginski Brandt & Brandt provides representation in divorce matters ranging from uncontested divorces (where both spouses have reached agreement on property division, custody, and support) to highly contested divorces involving substantial disputes over assets, custody arrangements, or support obligations.

The firm handles all dimensions of family law practice. Child custody and timesharing arrangements receive careful attention, with the attorneys understanding that custody matters ultimately concern the best interests of children and the establishment of parental relationships that work for all family members. Child support calculations, another critical family law service, are handled with attention to Florida's support guidelines while advocating for appropriate adjustments based on each family's unique circumstances.

Paternity cases—matters in which unmarried parents seek to establish legal parent-child relationships—are another important service area. The firm also handles adoptions, the legal process through which individuals become parents of children to whom they are not biologically related. Adoption cases require careful attention to state law requirements, court procedures, and home studies to ensure that adoptions are completed properly and in the best interests of the children involved.

Domestic violence defense represents a specialized service area within the family law practice. The firm represents clients who have been charged with domestic violence offenses, understanding that these cases often occur in the context of relationship dissolution and require sensitive, skilled representation to protect clients' rights and reputations.

Prenuptial and post-nuptial agreements—legal documents that address property division and support in the event of divorce—are another important service. These agreements allow couples to address potential divorce-related issues before marriage (prenuptial) or during marriage (post-nuptial), providing clarity and predictability in the event the marriage ends.

Beyond legal practice, Arthur Brandt demonstrates exceptional commitment to community involvement and education. For several years, he has been a sponsor of the Martin County Education Foundation, the nonprofit organization that raises funds and support for the Martin County Public Schools. Arthur has gone beyond financial support to actively recognize and honor exceptional educators: he has sponsored the Teacher of the Year awards at both Stuart Middle School and Hidden Oaks Middle School, providing recognition and encouragement to educators who exemplify excellence in the classroom.

Arthur's commitment to education extends further through his role as a guest speaker at schools throughout the Martin County community. He uses his legal expertise and community platform to help young people understand and respect the Constitution—the foundational legal document that governs our nation. By speaking to students about constitutional principles, Arthur contributes to civic education and helps young people develop the understanding and appreciation of constitutional rights that is essential to an informed citizenry.
