MIAMI - U.S. Attorney Jason A. Reding Quiñones joined federal, state, and local leaders on Nov. 10 for the ceremonial opening of the Osvaldo N. Soto Miami-Dade Justice Center, a new courthouse facility designed to expand access to justice and serve the growing needs of Miami-Dade County.
For U.S. Attorney Reding Quiñones-who previously served as a state court judge in Miami-Dade County-the courthouse's opening holds special significance. The new courthouse reflects both the county's evolving needs and its enduring commitment to a fair, accessible, and well-resourced justice 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."
Named in honor of Osvaldo N. Soto, a Cuban-American lawyer and civil rights pioneer, the courthouse will house multiple judicial operations and provide modern, secure, and technologically advanced courtrooms, improved public services, and additional space for justice partners.
Before his presidential appointment and Senate confirmation, U.S. Attorney Reding Quiñones served as a state court trial judge presiding over civil and criminal domestic violence cases in the Eleventh Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County.
