Ladies and Gentlemen:

         Reference is made to Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement on
Form SB-2 ("Registration Statement") to be filed by Ohio Legacy Corp with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on December 14, 1999 with respect to the
issuance of up to 1,350,000 of its common shares, no par value ("Common
Shares"). We are familiar with the Registration Statement, and we have examined
such documents and certificates and considered such matters of law as we deemed
necessary for the purpose of rendering this opinion.

         Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Common Shares
to be offered pursuant to the Registration Statement, when issued in accordance
with the provisions thereof, will be legally issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.

         We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.

                                      Respectfully submitted,

                                      Squire, Sanders & Dempsey L.L.P.
