I have become increasingly dissatisfied by the way my attorney is handling my case. What is the protocol for changing to a different lawyer? Do I need to tell my current lawyer that I am researching other options or should I wait until I retain a new lawyer to represent me?

There is no real optimal way to approach this.
My advice is to simply find the attorney you are comfortable with, and seek his or her advice about how she would like to enter the case. Frankly, you should want a smooth transition from one attorney to the next. While it is obvious you are unhappy with your current counsel, DO NOT LET YOUR CASE SUFFER because of your dissatisfaction with your present attorney. Remember, your focus is on your case, not your personal issues with counsel. Smooth transition is critical. It is very important to ensure you have a positive outcome in your legal matter. Please focus on this aspect.
