U.S. Attorney Jason A. Reding Quiñones participated in the grand opening of the Osvaldo N. Soto Miami-Dade Justice Center on November 10, joining other federal, state, and local officials at the event. The new courthouse is intended to improve access to justice and address the growing needs of Miami-Dade County.
Reding Quiñones previously served as a state court judge in Miami-Dade County before his current role as U.S. Attorney. He emphasized the importance of the new facility for both the community and its legal system.
“This courthouse reflects who we are as a community: resilient, forward-looking, and committed to justice,” said U.S. Attorney Reding Quiñones. “It also stands as a proud tribute to Osvaldo N. Soto, a Cuban exile, Bay of Pigs veteran, and trailblazing attorney who spent his life defending liberty. I sat on the state bench just a few blocks from here, and I know how much this building will mean for the people we serve. Miami-Dade is investing in its future, and we’re honored to stand with our state and local partners as we continue the work of protecting our community and defending the rule of law.”
The courthouse is named after Osvaldo N. Soto, a Cuban-American lawyer recognized for his civil rights work and contributions to liberty in South Florida. The facility will accommodate multiple judicial operations with modernized courtrooms, enhanced public services, updated security features, and additional space for agencies involved in administering justice.
Prior to his appointment by presidential nomination and Senate confirmation as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Reding Quiñones presided over civil and criminal domestic violence cases in Miami-Dade’s Eleventh Judicial Circuit.
