RE:  REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-8


Ladies and Gentlemen:


     We are  familiar  with the  proceedings  taken and  proposed to be taken by
International  FiberCom,  Inc., an Arizona  corporation  (the  "Company"),  with
respect  to  8,500,000  shares of  Common  Stock,  no par  value per share  (the
"Shares"),  of the Company to be offered and sold from time to time  pursuant to
the  Company's  2000  Directors  Stock  Option Plan and the 2002 Stock Plan (the
"Plans").  As counsel for the Company,  we have assisted in the preparation of a
Registration  Statement  on  Form  S-8 to be  filed  by  the  Company  with  the
Securities  and Exchange  Commission  to effect the  registration  of the Shares
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

     In this  connection,  we have  examined the Articles of  Incorporation  and
By-Laws of the Company,  records of  proceedings  of the Board of Directors  and
stockholders  of the Company,  and such other  records and  documents as we have
deemed necessary or advisable to render the opinion contained herein. Based upon
our  examination  and  inquiries,  we are of the opinion  that the Shares,  when
issued  pursuant  to the  terms  and  conditions  of the  Plans,  will  be  duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

     We hereby  consent  to the filing of this  opinion  as  Exhibit  5.1 to the
Registration Statement described above.


                                Very truly yours,

                                /s/ Christian J. Hoffmann, III

                                Christian J. Hoffmann, III
