Human Trafficking Unit Assistant State Attorney Yaneth Baez received the Prosecutor of the Year Award by the Office of Attorney General James Uthmeier at the 2025 Human Trafficking Summit.
“This award is a profound recognition of Yaneth’s commitment to justice and the incredible work she has done for the Miami-Dade community,” said State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle. “For nearly a decade, Yaneth has fiercely advocated for victims of domestic violence and human trafficking, dedicating her career to prosecuting these deeply personal and complex crimes. Her endless pursuit of justice, compassion for survivors, and powerful voice in the courtroom have made a lasting impact, and being named Prosecutor of the Year is a testament to the lives she’s helped change and the hope she’s restored.”
