(the last paragraph: "Professor Zhang is represented by the law firms of Alston & Bird LLP and Nolan, Barton, Bradford & Olmos, LLP. He is represented at the CBP by the law firm of Van Der Hout, Brigagliano & Nightingale, LLP")

My comment:
(a) I search the Web and can find nothing that Professor Zhang receives pro no legal assistance. In other words, all law firms representing him are paid.
(b) Alston & Bird
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alston_%26_Bird
(1893- ; the largest law firm in Atlanta [where it is based], with "local offices in New York City, Washington, DC, Brussels, Charlotte, Raleigh, Dallas, Los Angeles, and Silicon Valley")
(c) Based in Palo Alto, California, Nolan, Barton, Bradford & Olmos, LLP is engaged in criminal defense exclusively.
(c) Based in San Francisco, Van Der Hout, Brigagliano & Nightingale, LLP is an "immigration law firm," as it described itself in its website.
