Jayne Dykema has practiced law for 40 years and is the founding partner of Dykema Law Offices, P.C. on Plainfield Avenue.  She has focused on family law for most of her career and primarily spends her professional time as a family law mediator and collaborative professional.  Her education includes a BSN (Nursing) and a BS in Psychology from MSU.  That education, coupled with her own personal divorce and single mom experience, has prepared her well for assisting clients and families going through this life transition.  Jayne’s clients appreciate her attention to detail, her compassion, and her prompt response to their needs.  She recognizes how clients often need urgent reassurance and support.  

Jayne strongly supports mediation and collaborative practice as the most economical and least damaging legal method to support partners, spouses, adult and minor children, and extended families.  Jayne realizes how much damage can be done in public legal filings and time spent in the courtroom.   

She firmly believes in maintaining dignity and respect while promoting successful life transitions.  As one of her clients succinctly stated: “Jayne makes divorce suck less!”

Jayne is actively involved in her church and community.  She volunteers extensively for veterans and organizations supporting recovery from substance use and alcohol use disorders. 

For recreation, Jayne is passionate about snow skiing and loves to spend her time in snowy mountains.  She is also licensed to practice in Florida and regularly spends time in the sunny Florida Keys.  She appreciates that Zoom now allows her to work year-round, no matter where her travels take her!  She and her adult sons attended and graduated from Northview, where she still works and resides.
