Why Choose The Modi Law Firm?

Immigration is one of those areas of law where bad advice can change a family's life. Susham Modi built a Houston practice deliberately around getting it right. He earned a J.D. from Penn State Law and worked as an Attorney Advocate at Harvard Law School's Immigration and Refugee Clinical Program before opening The Modi Law Firm. He has been a Texas Super Lawyers Rising Star every year from 2018 to 2023, an Adjunct Professor at the University of Houston Law Center, and rated 10.0 Superb on Avvo. The firm handles family petitions, employment visas, green cards, asylum, and deportation defense — with services in Spanish, Arabic, Gujarati, and Hindi alongside English. If you need an immigration lawyer who understands both the federal regs and the human stakes, this firm is built for it.
