If employer revoked approved I-140, you will get a RFE for Employment Verification before they can approve your 485 other ways it will be denied.
 
this means as long as I have new/similar employment to document after 180 days and I invoke AC-21, any revocation of I-140 will not impact me and that I-485 can not be revoked by the employer, correct?
 
You can protect yourself from I-140 revocation by waiting 180 days and sending in the supporting letter for AC21.

However, the I-485 can be revoked by the employer's lawyer, if you signed a G-28 to authorize them to handle your case. So if you change jobs you should also revoke the G-28 (I'm not sure how to do it).
 
Well, I guess if the employer's lawyer revokes your I-485, then (s)he is screwed badly. No matter who pays for the service, the laywer represents you for your I-485. If (s)he is not comfortable with that (like other obligations to the employer) then (s)he can withdraw his (her) representation from the case. If lawyer takes any step against your I-485, this guy will be kicked out from the bar first and then his license might be revoked.

Of course, the lawyer can revoke I-140 as the employer's representative, and you can do nothing about that.

Employer can not revoke I 485. Theoretically, attorney can revoke I 485 but as I 485 is the property of Employee, ethically attorney can't revoke without permission of Employee. If they do without your permission, you can sue him/her.

Employer can revoke I 140 even after approval but if I 485 filling passed 180 days and you use AC21, your I 485 will be valid without any problem.

Sounds reasonable. But what if the lawyer says that you gave him/her a verbal permission through phone?

Have you ever seen a lawyer making any steps based on client's verbal approval? I haven't. Every time my lawyer does anything, she asks my signed approval or at least an email, if a matter is minor
 
You can always find another lawyer, who'll be happy to represent you before a judge for (lets say) 50%.

Good luck with trying to sue a lawyer. Especially when you are no longer even legal in the country after the lawyer revoked your I-485.
