Gentlemen:

     We  have been retained by Java Express, Inc. (the "Company"), in
connection  with  the  Registration  Statement on Form SB-2 filed by the
Company with  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  (the "Registration
Statement") relating  to  2,000,000  shares  of common stock, par value $0.001
per share.  You have  requested  that  we  render  an  opinion as to whether
the common stock as proposed  to be issued on the terms set forth in the
Registration Statement will be  validly  issued,  fully  paid  and
non-assessable.

     In  connection  with  this  engagement,  we  have  examined  the
following:

     1.     the  articles  of  incorporation  of  the  Company;

     2.     the  Registration  Statement;

     3.     the  bylaws  of  the  Company;  and

     4.     unanimous  consents  of  the  board  of  directors.

     We  have  examined such other corporate records and documents and have
made such  other  examinations  as  we  deemed  relevant.

     Based  upon the above examination, we are of the opinion that the shares
of common  stock  proposed to be issued pursuant to the Registration
Statement, are validly  authorized  and,  when issued in accordance with the
terms set forth in the  Registration  Statement,  will  be  validly  issued,
fully  paid,  and non-assessable.

     We  hereby  consent  to  being  named  in  the  Prospectus  included in
the Registration  Statement  as  having rendered the foregoing opinion and as
having represented  the  Company  in  connection  with  the  Registration
Statement.

                              Sincerely  yours,

                              /s/ Michael L. Labertew
                              Michael L. Labertew, Esq.
