Re:  Registration  Statement  on  Form  SB-2

Ladies  and  Gentlemen:

We have examined the Registration Statement on Form SB-2 to be filed by you with
the  Securities  and   Exchange  Commission  on  or   about  May  7,  2001  (the
"Registration  Statement")   in  connection  with  the  registration  under  the
Securities  Act of 1933, as amended, of a total of 800,000 shares of your Common
Stock  (the  "Shares"),  to  be  offered  for sale by you.  As legal counsel for
Temporary  Financial  Services,  Inc., we have examined the proceedings taken in
connection  with  the  sale  of the Shares by you in the manner set forth in the
Registration  Statement.  It  is  our  opinion  that  the Shares are legally and
validly  issued,  fully  paid  and  nonassessable.

We  consent  to  the  use  of  this  opinion  as  an exhibit to the Registration
Statement,  including  the  prospectus  constituting a part thereof, and further
consent to the use of our name wherever it appears in the Registration Statement
and  any  amendments  thereto.

Very  truly  yours,

/s/ WORKLAND  &  WITHERSPOON,  PLLC
