Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Digerati Technologies,
Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with a registration statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration
Statement”) to be filed on September 13, 2023 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant
to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for the registration of 7,500,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), to be issued by the Company pursuant to the Digerati Technologies,
Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”).
We have participated in the preparation of the
Registration Statement and have reviewed the originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of all such corporate
records of the Company and such other instruments and other certificates of public officials, officers and representatives of the Company
and such other persons, and we have made such investigations of law, as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinion expressed
below.
In rendering the opinion expressed below, we have
assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted
to us as copies. In addition, we have assumed and have not verified the accuracy as to factual matters of each document we have reviewed.
Based on the foregoing, and subject to the further
assumptions and qualifications set forth below, it is our opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action of the Company and, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Plan, at prices not less than the par value thereof, will be
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We render this opinion only with respect to, and
we express no opinion herein concerning the application or effect of the laws of any jurisdiction other than, the existing laws of the
state of Nevada.
We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as
a part (Exhibit 5.1) of the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of
persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission thereunder. The
opinion expressed herein is rendered on and as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to advise you, or to make any investigations,
as to any legal developments or factual matters arising subsequent to the date hereof that might affect the opinion expressed herein.

Very truly yours, |
