About Matthew Adam
Matthew Adam Gruber built a legal career out of two things he studied: business and the law. He earned a J.D. from Florida International University College of Law in 2005 after completing undergraduate studies at the University of Miami, where he concentrated on marketing and business law. Those early choices shaped a practice that crosses real estate, estate planning and transactional work.
Gruber began his formal leadership roles in private practice in 2009 when he became a managing partner at Gruber & Gruber PA. He later founded The Estate Plan in 2014, positioning himself as the founding lawyer of a boutique firm that handled probate, trusts and related real property matters. In 2024 he took on a corporate role as CEO of Cotingency LLC, a move that reflects the more recent blend of legal and business responsibilities in his career.
He is admitted to practice in Florida and in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. His active membership in the Florida Bar dates from 2008. He also belongs to the American Bar Association and the Real Property, Probate & Trust Law Section of the Florida Bar; those affiliations have been part of his professional network since 2008. At the county level he maintains membership in the Dade-County Bar Association and served on several of its committees focused on law and technology, probate and guardianship, and real property during the 2008–2019 period.
Beyond the bar, Gruber holds several industry credentials. He is a licensed real estate agent in Florida, a notary public for the state, and a title agent affiliated with The Fund. Those licenses complement his estate and property work, allowing him to handle transactions and title matters with practical familiarity of both legal and transactional steps.
Clients and colleagues describe his practice as rooted in transactional and estate matters rather than courtroom litigation. His work has included drafting and administering trusts, probating estates and advising on real property transfers. The combination of licensing—legal, real estate and title—gives him a toolbox that suits transactional workflows and closing processes.
Over the years Gruber has balanced private practice leadership with membership in professional sections and county bar committees. His committee work, particularly in probate and procedural matters, ran through 2019 and reflected an interest in the nuts-and-bolts of estate administration and local legal practice. He now leads Cotingency LLC while continuing to maintain professional licensure and bar memberships.
He currently focuses his practice on estate planning, probate and real estate matters.
