About Deron

Deron Smallcomb didn't come to immigration law through a textbook. He came through a visa application. In 2007, he filed his own fiancé visa to bring his wife to the United States. The process was confusing, high-stakes, and deeply personal. That experience became the foundation for everything that followed.

In 2009, he founded what would become Modern Law Group. What started as a solo practice handling family-based immigration cases has grown into a national firm with offices in San Diego, Brooklyn, Fort Worth, Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Miami — and a track record of over 10,000 approved cases.

Deron's practice spans the full spectrum of immigration law: asylum and refugee protection, family-based immigration, removal defense, immigration bond hearings, habeas corpus petitions, employment-based visas, and citizenship applications. He has represented clients from dozens of countries in proceedings before USCIS, immigration courts, the Board of Immigration Appeals, and federal district courts.

His clients include families seeking to reunite, asylum seekers fleeing persecution, entrepreneurs building businesses in America, and individuals fighting deportation. He has handled cases involving every major immigration statute and has appeared as an expert commentator on national television — including Dr. Phil, Newsmax, Merit Street News, RTVI, and The Daily Signal — to break down complex immigration policy for a general audience.

Deron is also the author of Securing America's Future: A Blueprint for 21st Century Immigration Reform, examining immigration policy through the lens of both national security and humanitarian obligation.

What Clients Say

Deron Smallcomb personally handled our family's case and made what seemed impossible actually happen. After being told by two other lawyers that we had no chance, his team got our approval in under 6 months. He understood our situation because he'd been through the immigration process himself.

I was detained by ICE and facing deportation. Mr. Smallcomb got me a bond hearing within days and I was released to my family. His knowledge of the system and his willingness to fight made all the difference. I don't know where I'd be without his help.

We used Modern Law Group for our fiancé visa and green card. Deron was responsive, explained every step clearly, and handled complications with our case that other attorneys said were dealbreakers. His firm delivered exactly what they promised.
