Laura Lippman, and she’s local (Howard County, MD) so she sometimes writes about central MD/95 corridor Baltimore to DC too.

!?!? I wish i could remember the author name or book title bc it was such a WTF, it probably would be a fun distraction for you.
Sounds like Julie James. https://juliejames.com/books/just-the-sexiest-man-alive/
I really like her books, but this one was my least favorite, and I wouldn't call any of her books "thrillers." They are good romances and they feature lawyers.

Girl Waits With Gun and the rest of that series by Amy Stewart.
It’s a novel (and series) based on the true story of one of the nation’s first female deputy sheriffs. It’s more of a detective story than legal thriller but is written by a woman and has a strong female lead. It’s an easy, pleasant read (I’m a lawyer too, btw)

Michael Connolly (of Lincoln Lawyer fame) has a series of books featuring a female detective named Renee Ballard.
It's not a legal thriller like a Grisham book, but they might be "close enough"
