Re:	Microfield Group, Inc.
	Our File No. MIC18-1

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We refer to the registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), filed by Microfield Group, Inc., an Oregon corporation (the “Company”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 2, 2006.

     We have examined the originals, photocopies, certified copies or other evidence of such records of the Company, certificates of officers of the Company and public officials, and other documents as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed. In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the capacity of those signing, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as certified copies or photocopies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.

     Based on our examination mentioned above, we are of the opinion that the 8,638,561 shares of common stock being registered to be sold pursuant to the Registration Statement are duly authorized, legally and validly issued, and fully paid and nonassessable. The 2,944,693 shares of common stock of the Company to be issued upon the exercise of the Warrants are validly authorized, and assuming (a) the shares of common stock so issuable will be validly authorized on the dates of exercise, (b) no change occurs in the applicable law or the pertinent facts, and (c) the Warrants are exercised in accordance with their terms, the shares of common stock so issued will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
