Gentlemen:

      We have been retained by American  Communications  Enterprises,  Inc. (the
"Company") in connection  with the  Registration  Statement  (the  "Registration
Statement")  on Form SB-2,  to be filed by the Company with the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission  relating to the offering of securities of the Company.  You
have  requested  that we render our opinion as to whether or not the  securities
proposed to be issued on terms set forth in the  Registration  Statement will be
validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.

      In connection with the request, we have examined the following:

      1.    Articles of Incorporation of the Company;

      2.    Bylaws of the Company;

      3.    The Registration Statement; and

      4.    Unanimous consent resolutions of the Company's Board of Directors.

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

      Based on the above examination,  we are of the opinion that the securities

non-assessable under the corporate laws of the State of Nevada.

      We consent to our name being used in the Registration  Statement as having
rendered  the  foregoing  opinion  and as  having  represented  the  Company  in
connection with the Registration Statement.
