If your long-term disability (LTD) claim has been denied or terminated, you’re likely feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and uncertain about your future. At Resolute Employment & Disability Lawyers, we help people across Newfoundland and Labrador fight back and get the disability benefits they need to stay financially stable — all through virtual consultations by phone or Zoom.
Whether you live in St. John’s, Mount Pearl, Corner Brook, Gander, Grand Falls-Windsor, Labrador City, or a remote outport community, we can help — without the need to travel.
We Understand the Struggles You’re Facing
When you’re dealing with a denied disability claim or an employment dispute, it’s about more than just paperwork — it’s your income, your stability, and your peace of mind.
- Your LTD benefits have been denied, delayed, or cut off
- You’re unsure how to appeal or who to trust
- You’re facing financial stress and fear of losing everything
- You feel dismissed, misunderstood, or accused of exaggerating
- You’re overwhelmed by paperwork and don’t know where to start
We Get It — And We’re Here to Help
Our founder, David Brannen, has seen firsthand the damage that denied disability benefits can cause. As a child, he watched his grandfather struggle after being unfairly denied a workplace disability claim — a life-altering event that inspired David to become a lawyer.
Before practicing law, David worked as a licensed occupational therapist, which gives him a deep understanding of both the medical and legal aspects of disability claims. His mission is to protect individuals from being steamrolled by insurers — and to fight for what’s right.

What Our Clients Are Saying

When I reached out to Resolute, it was because I was at my breaking point.
Resolute took all that stess off my shoulders. They took it all over, collected all the necessary information and made a point to check in every few weeks to update me on their progress. It took about six months, and when I got the call from my insurance company notifying me that they had accepted the appeal, the relief that came over me was indescribable. I absolutely recommend Resolute.Jenn P

Undoubtedly, the most exceptional legal guidance for individuals with disabilities. I am immensely grateful for discovering their expertise. Nearly everyone has a family member with a disability or knows a friend who does. Finding tailored recommendations can be quite challenging, often coming at a high cost and yielding minimal results. Resolute in their support, they treat you as if you were part of their own family. I encourage you to visit their website and join their informative weekly Zoom sessions.

David Brannen and his staff are excellent, knowledgeable, conscientious, helpful, honest and kind to deal with. They answered all my questions honestly and promptly. Hiring a lawyer online may seem daunting, but no fear in hiring them. They won my case for CPP disability after my own two rejections, which I am truly grateful for. Top-notch firm and individuals. Thank-you so much!
