Attorney Christopher Cerami’s world was shaken to the core in January 2018 when his grandfather tragically died in a fire in his Plainview, Long Island, home, but the 31-year-old Bridgeport-based lawyer said part of the healing process has been remembering that Robert Thomas Rohde was always his greatest cheerleader and is an ongoing inspiration.

“I had the full range of grief-related issues swoop into my life,” Cerami said, recalling the aftermath of his grandfather’s untimely passing. “It was two months of funk, of not feeling myself. The drive I had was wiped out and suddenly—I did not know what to do with myself. I thought I was falling apart. I’d do what I needed to do with my current clients and then go home and stare at the walls.”
