The law offices of Isler, Sombathy & Sombathy, P.A. was founded by Chuck Isler in 1983 (More History). Julie Sombathy joined the firm in 1994. Julie's husband, Robert Sombathy, joined the firm in 2000.

The main offices of the firm are located at 434 Magnolia Avenue, just a block away from the Bay County Courthouse. Prior to the establishment of Chuck's practice of law at 434 Magnolia Avenue in 1983, Chuck's father, Charlie Isler, practiced law in the same office for over forty years. In order to better meet the needs of our clients, we expanded our offices in 1997 to include a beach location at 2226 Thomas Drive.

With the addition of Robert Sombathy, the firm has expanded its general practice such that we are capable of assisting and representing clients in civil law, as well as criminal defense. Members of the firm often appear as guest speakers on the topic of wills, trusts and estate planning at seminars sponsored by local churches, civic organizations and businesses.

Our downtown office is located at 434 Magnolia Avenue, Panama City, Florida.  The building was originally a church. On May 16, 1931, the building located at 424 N. Magnolia Avenue was dedicated as the Seventh-Day Adventist Church of Panama City.  What is amazing about the building is that it was built during the heart of the Great Depression through the donations of land, lumber, bricks and labor of the church members.

Through the years, Chuck Isler's father, Charlie Isler, purchased the church when the congregation grew too large.  An addition was made to the building, adding a front lobby, conference room and upstairs offices, and the address was changed to 434 Magnolia Avenue.  Nevertheless, the essential structure of the building remains the same today as it was over seventy years ago: the original hardwood floors remain, and the steeple is still visible from the parking lot. We are proud to preserve a piece of Bay County's history at 434 Magnolia Avenue.
