Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Conifer Holdings, Inc., a Michigan corporation (the Company), in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) of a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-205448) of the Company (as amended through the date hereof and including all exhibits thereto, the Registration Statement), including a related prospectus filed with the Registration Statement (the Prospectus), pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), relating to a proposed underwritten public offering (the Offering) of up to 4,887,500 shares of the Common Stock, no par value, of the Company (the Common Stock), comprised of 4,250,000 shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Company, which includes 637,500 shares that may be sold by such shareholders upon exercise of the option to purchase additional shares granted to the underwriters of the Offering (the Shares). The Shares are to be sold to the underwriters for resale to the public as described in the Registration Statement and pursuant to the underwriting agreement referred to in the Registration Statement (the Underwriting Agreement).
Based upon our examination of such documents and other matters as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized by the Company and, when issued and sold in accordance with the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, with payment received by the Company in the manner described in the Underwriting Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption Legal Matters in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. In giving such consent, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required by Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Commission.

Very truly yours, |
