After relocating to the United States, Cris earned her Master of Laws (LL.M.) in U.S. law from the University of Houston Law Center (UHLC) in 2020 and passed the Texas Bar Exam during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Cris discovered her passion for immigration law while working as a student attorney at UHLC, where she advocated for vulnerable individuals facing overwhelming legal challenges.

Dylan Pond is an attorney at Pond Lehocky Giordano and serves as its Chief Revenue Officer. Dylan is an avid traveler. We’re talking about a “100 countries visited with maybe a few dozen more visited by the time you read this” kind of traveler. He’s such an avid traveler that he was ranked as the second-most-traveled American between the ages of 20 and 29, according to Most Traveled People and NomadMania. But he’s not one of those travelers that touches down in a country, spends a few hours there, and then heads off to another one once he’s checked that country off his list. Not Dylan. He’s more of a “live like a local” type. He wants to feel what it’s like to live in a particular country. He wants to step into the shoes of its citizens and see the world through their eyes. He wants to see the bigger picture of what’s going on in the world beyond his neighborhood, state, and country. Dylan brings this same curiosity and appreciation for the big picture to both of his roles at Pond Lehocky Giordano. As an attorney at the firm, Dylan provides holistic legal counsel to his clients that takes into account the bigger picture. He’s not interested in merely getting a “good” legal result for a client; he’s interested in getting the best overall result for a client given their circumstances and wishes. Oftentimes, the best result for a client means helping them receive additional medical treatment, or other services, so they can regain their physical, mental, and emotional health. Dylan also helps manage the Pond Lehocky Giordano Referral Network, which is made up of thousands of trusted attorneys and doctors across the United States and the world. The firm’s attorneys and staff refer their clients to network members when they are in need of additional assistance with health issues, or legal issues beyond the areas of law that the firm’s attorneys practice themselves. As the firm’s Chief Revenue Officer, a unique position for a law firm of any size and of any type, Dylan is again focused on the big picture. He works with Pond Lehocky Giordano’s founding partners and executive team to strategize about, vet, and fund investments he believes will be profitable for the firm so that it can reinvest profits back into its operations to continue its mission of helping everyone in the world who has been injured or is disabled.
