About Kate
Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch earned her Juris Doctor from the University of Texas School of Law in 2008. Her legal education at UT Austin provided the foundation for a practice rooted in state rules and local institutions. She completed the JD program in Austin and moved into Texas practice soon after.
She is admitted to practice in Texas and has continued her career in the state since leaving law school. Over the years she has worked in settings that serve individual clients and small organizations. That experience fed into a decision to operate a smaller, client-facing practice rather than pursue large firm life.
Today she is the owner and lawyer at Lincoln-Goldfinch Law. The firm name reflects a hands-on approach: clients work directly with the attorney who signs the paperwork. As owner, she handles intake, case planning, and courtroom filings when cases require litigation. She maintains the administrative responsibilities that come with running a small practice alongside her legal work.
Her memberships reflect the circles she moves in professionally. She holds memberships in the Travis County Women Lawyers Association and the Austin Bar Association, where she participates in the Solo/Small Firm Section. She is also a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association and the National Immigration Project of the Lawyers Guild. Early in her career she joined the Austin Young Lawyers Association and has kept connections to local bar activity.
Those associations point to the kinds of matters that occupy her docket. Immigration-related organizations are a recurring presence in her professional affiliations, and she draws on that community for continuing legal education, case resources, and policy updates. At the same time, her involvement in solo and small-firm groups speaks to the practical work of running a law office: client management, ethics, and procedural practice in Texas courts.
Colleagues describe her work style as practical and straightforward. She focuses on the legal questions clients bring and frames options in plain language. She tends to keep client communication direct, preferring clarity over jargon.
She remains active in local professional groups and handles the full spectrum of responsibilities at Lincoln-Goldfinch Law. She currently practices at Lincoln-Goldfinch Law, where her practice centers on immigration law and related matters.
