The attys are working for YOU. You are not working for them! Their fee will be part of your SSD settlement if you win.
If you are not comfortable with them, discuss this w/them and/or fire them & hire another firm that YOU feel comfortable with.

if i "fire" them, would any other law firm take me on?

Yes, if the law firm feels there is a chance of winning. It is recommended that you find a firm that handles only SSD cases.

In a way yes. You should request copies of all your medical records including dr notes. Keep copies for yourself and provide copies to your atty. Make sure you keep your atty updated on your disability and dr visits.
Read the stickies at the top of this website.

In a way you are. Remember, you are NOT their only client. Especially if the law firm is a large one and/or the ones you see on the tv commercials.
If you have the funds, you can privately hire a SSD atty on a retainer. This way, the atty will only rep you as you will be his/her only client. 
GOOD LUCK!
