Re:
Premier Alliance Group, Inc. Registration Statement on Form S-1
 

Ladies/Gentlemen:

We are counsel to Premier Alliance Group, Inc. (“Premier") in connection with the offer and sale of 15,869,197 shares of common stock, $.001 par value, issuable upon the exercise of outstanding Series C Preferred Stock and Warrants, as those terms are defined in the Registration Statement (defined below).  The offer and sale of the shares of common stock is being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”).

We are of the opinion that:

1.           The outstanding Series C Preferred Stock and Warrants included in the Registration Statement are legally and validly issued and outstanding and constitute binding obligations of Premier, enforceable in accordance with their terms.

2.           When shares of common stock are issued and sold upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock or the exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock and Warrants, the shares of common stock so issued will be legally and validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable.

The foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the States of Nevada and New York, and the Federal laws of the United States of America.

We hereby consent to the use of our opinion in the Registration Statement.


Very truly yours,

Law Offices of Michael H. Freedman, PLLC
