Will my immigration lawyer tell my current employer I have a new job?

I'm in a bit of a tricky situation currently and would love to get some advice on what I should do. I got married recently, and for my Green Card application I'm employing the same immigration lawyer (Lawyer A) that helped me file for my H1B a year ago at Company A. The HR person at Company A knows Lawyer A on a personal and professional basis. I recently got an offer for another job at Company B, and they will be using Lawyer B to file for my H1B transfer since it'll take a while for me to get my Green Card EAD. Lawyer A recently reached out to ask about filing a H1B extension for Company A since my current H1B expires in August - should I tell Lawyer A that I'm in the process of changing employers? I'm not telling Company A I'm leaving until I have things full settled with Company B, but I'm afraid that it'll get back to them before I'm ready since Lawyer A knows the HR person at Company A. Or am I protected from that since I'm personally employing Lawyer A for my Green Card application?

TL;DR: Should I tell my (and my current company's) immigration lawyer that I'm about to switch jobs before I'm ready to put in my notice?

Thanks in advance!

Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
