Do I need H1B once I have EAD?

[toy3kin192]

The company's lawyer, Fragomen, is advising my company to renew my H1B for a year. But I already got EAD & AP.
I think either they just want to get some more money, or they want to screw me in some way (that wouldn't be the first time, as they tried not to do concurrent processing).
Do you know any advantage/disadvantage of renewing the H1B at this time?
Thanks,
t3k

I would suggest you go get H1B as a backup.

Keep your H1 status at all times until approval. See link posted above for futher details.

You should renew your H1 to be on safer side.
