                  RE:      COMMUNITY CENTRAL BANK CORPORATION


Gentlemen:

         We are acting as counsel to Community Central Bank Corporation, a
Michigan corporation (the"Company") in connection with the proposed issuance
and sale by the Company of shares of its common stock ("Common Stock").  The
Common Stock is described in a registration statement on Form SB-2 (the
"Registration Statement") being filed by the Company with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

         Based upon our examination of such corporate records and other
documents and certificates as we deemed it necessary to examine, it is our
opinion that:

                 1.       The Company is a corporation validly existing under
                          the laws of the State of Michigan; and

                 2.       The Common Stock, when issued and sold by the
                          Company, will be legally issued, fully paid and
                          non-assessable.

         We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as Exhibit 5 to the 
Registration Statement and to the use of our firm name under the caption 
"Legal Matters" in the related Prospectus.


                                    Very Truly Yours,



                                /s/ Dickinson, Wright, Moon, Van Dusen & Freeman
