When you hire a firm, you hire the firm as a whole and not a specific attorney, unless your engagement letter specifically states that only so-and-so will handle your case (this is not something you would normally see).

If you do not like the way the firm is handling your case, you always have the right to fire them and find new counsel. Generally, the only way you will ensure one attorney will handle your case is to hire a sole practitioner.
