<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">The Registrant has adopted provisions in
its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that limit or eliminate the personal liability of the Registrant&rsquo;s
directors to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &ldquo;DGCL&rdquo;). The DGCL expressly
permits a corporation to provide that its directors will not be liable for monetary damages for a breach of their fiduciary duties
as directors, except for liability: (i) for any breach of the director&rsquo;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;
(ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) under
Section 174 of the DGCL (relating to unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions or payment of dividends);
or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. These limitations of liability do not
generally affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">The Registrant&rsquo;s Second Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation also obligates it to indemnify the Registrant&rsquo;s directors, officers, employees and
agents to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL, subject to limited exceptions. Section 145 of the DGCL provides, in effect,
that any person made a party to any action by reason of the fact that he is or was our director, officer, employee or agent may
and, in certain cases, must be indemnified by us against, in the case of a non-derivative action, judgments, fines, amounts paid
in settlement and reasonable expenses (including attorneys&rsquo; fees) incurred by him as a result of such action, and in the
case of a derivative action, against expenses (including attorneys&rsquo; fees), if in either type of action he acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests. This indemnification does not apply,
(i) in a derivative action, to matters as to which it is adjudged that the director, officer, employee or agent is liable to us,
unless upon court order it is determined that, despite such adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of
the case, he is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses, and, (ii) in a non-derivative action, to any criminal
proceeding in which such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Also, the Registrant may be required
to advance expenses to its directors, officers, employees and agents in connection with legal proceedings, subject to limited
exceptions.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">The Registrant may enter into separate
indemnification agreements with its directors and officers that may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained
in the DGCL. These indemnification agreements could require the Registrant, among other things, to indemnify its directors and
officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors and officers, other than liabilities
arising from willful misconduct. These indemnification agreements may also require the Registrant to advance any expenses incurred
by the directors and officers as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified and to obtain directors&rsquo;
and officers&rsquo; insurance if available on reasonable terms. </P>

a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">We have acted as counsel to Fortress International Group, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;), in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the &ldquo;Securities Act&rdquo;), of 2,000,000 shares of the Company&rsquo;s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the &ldquo;Common
Stock&rdquo;), all of which may be issued from time to time under the Fortress International Group, Inc. 2006 Omnibus Incentive
Compensation Plan, as amended (the &ldquo;Plan&rdquo;), pursuant to the Company&rsquo;s Registration Statement on Form&nbsp;S-8
(the &ldquo;Registration Statement&rdquo;) filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">We have examined the Registration Statement and such corporate
records, certificates, and documents as we deemed necessary for the purpose of this opinion. Based on that examination, it is our
opinion that the shares of the Common Stock being registered pursuant to the Registration Statement (the &ldquo;Shares&rdquo;),
when issued in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan, will be legally issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">In giving our opinion, we are assuming that, at the time of
issuance of the Shares, the Company will have a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of the Common Stock for the
issuance. We are also assuming that (i) issuance of the Shares will not conflict with or violate any provisions of the certificate
of incorporation of the Company in effect at the time of issuance, and (ii) granting of awards and corresponding issuance of the
Shares will be authorized by the Compensation Committee of the board of directors of the Company pursuant to and in accordance
with the terms of the Plan.</P>
