Gentlemen;
We have acted as special securities counsel for Bach-Hauser, Inc., a

connection with the registration by the Company of 2,015,000 shares
(the "Shares") of its common stock to be issued pursuant to a
registration statement on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
(Such registration statement, as amended or supplemented is hereinafter
referred to as the "Registration Statement.") The Shares are to be
issued under the Company's Legal Services Plan (the "Plan").
You have advised that:
1.The Company is current in its reporting responsibilities to the
Securities and Exchange Commission as mandated by the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended

legal counsel and consultants to the Company.

which are not in relation to the offer or sale of securities in a
capital-raising transaction, and which did not either directly or
indirectly promote or maintain a market for the Company's
securities.
4.The Company has agreed to issue its common stock to the above-
named individuals as compensation for their services on behalf of

We have read such documents as have been made available to us. For
purposes of this opinion, we have assumed the authenticity of such
documents.
Based on the accuracy of the information supplied to us, it is our
opinion that the Company may avail itself of a Registration Statement
on Form S-8, and is qualified to do so. Further, subject to the
limitation set forth in the Company's Articles of Incorporation with
respect to the maximum number of shares of common stock that the
Company is authorized to issue, and assuming that the Shares will be
issued as set forth in the Plan and the Registration Statement, at a
time when effective, and that the Company will fully comply with all
applicable securities laws involved under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the
rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to said Acts, and in those
states of foreign jurisdictions in which the Shares may be sold, we are
of the opinion that, upon proper and legal issuance of the Shares and
receipt of the consideration to be paid for the Shares, the Shares will
be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock
of the Company.
Further, with respect to the issuance of the shares to the individuals
set forth in paragraph 2 above, we are of the opinion that those
persons are eligible participants in the Plan and may be issued shares
of the Company's Common Stock registered on the Company's Registration
Statement on Form S-8 without restriction on transfer or restrictive
legend.
This opinion does not cover any matters related to any re-offer or re-
sale of the Shares by any Plan participants, once properly and legally
issued pursuant to the Plan as described in the Registration Statement.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as
Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement. We also consent to the
reference to our firm under the heading in the Registration Statement.
In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the
category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the
Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission. This opinion and
consent may be incorporated by reference in a subsequent registration
statement on Form S-8 filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Act with
respect to the registration of additional securities issuable under the
Plan.
This opinion is limited to the specific issues addressed herein, and no
opinion may be inferred or implied beyond that expressly stated herein.
We assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion should the
present laws of the State of Nevada or the federal law of the United
States be changed by legislative action, judicial decision or
otherwise.
This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to the applicable rules and
regulations promulgated under the Act in connection with the filing of
the Registration Statement.
Sincerely,
/s/ Chapman & Flanagan, Ltd.
