                  Registration Statement on Form SB-2

Ladies and Gentlemen:


         At your request,  we have examined the  Registration  Statement on Form
SB-2 (the "REGISTRATION  STATEMENT") to which this letter is attached as Exhibit
5.1 filed by New Motion, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),  in order
to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "ACT"), the resale
by the selling shareholders  identified in the prospectus constituting a part of
the  Registration  Statement of an  aggregate of 5,903,306  shares of issued and
outstanding  Common Stock of the Company,  290,909 shares of Common Stock of the
Company issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants (the "WARRANTS"), 168,605
shares of Common Stock of the Company  issuable upon conversion of a convertible
promissory note (the "NOTE") issued by the Company, and any additional shares of
Common  Stock of the  Company  which may be  registered  pursuant to Rule 462(b)
under the Act (the "SHARES").

         We have  examined  originals  or  certified  copies  of such  corporate
records of the Company and other  certificates and documents of officials of the
Company,  public officials and others as we have deemed appropriate for purposes
of  this  letter.  We  have  assumed  the  genuineness  of all  signatures,  the
authenticity  of all documents  submitted to us as originals,  the conformity to
authentic  original  documents of all copies  submitted  to us as conformed  and
certified or reproduced copies.

         Based on the  foregoing,  we are of the opinion that (i) the  5,903,306
shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock have been duly authorized, and are
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; (ii) the 290,909 shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants have been duly authorized and, when
issued  upon such  exercise in  accordance  with the terms of the  Warrants  and
following  receipt by the Company of the consideration  therefor,  shall be duly
and validly issued,  fully paid and nonassessable;  and (iii) the 168,605 shares
of Common Stock  issuable  upon  exercise of the Note have been duly  authorized
and, when issued upon conversion of the Note in accordance with the terms of the
Note, shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
