A:
If you applied for Employment Authorization through your Attorney you might of signed a Form G-28, Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Accredited Representative. Part 4 of the G-28 states that you consent to being represented by the attorney. When you are represented, DHS will send notices to both you and your attorney. Originals or secure ID documents will be sent directly to you unless you requested otherwise, and will be sent to your attorney of record.
I strongly suggest you communicate with your attorney and ask if your EAD will be sent to you directly or did you otherwise agree to have it sent to their law firm.
