When your long-term disability (LTD) benefits are denied or cut off, the consequences can be overwhelming — financially, emotionally, and physically. At Resolute Employment & Disability Lawyers, we help people across Manitoba fight back against insurance companies to get the benefits they deserve.
We offer virtual consultations by phone or Zoom, serve clients across the province, and charge no fees unless we win. Whether you’re in Winnipeg, Brandon, Steinbach, Thompson, Portage la Prairie, or a remote northern community, we’re here for you.
We Understand the Struggles You’re Facing
- You’ve been denied LTD benefits when you’re still too sick to work
- You’re stressed about money and how to support your family
- You feel disrespected or disbelieved by your insurer
- You’re lost in a maze of forms, deadlines, and confusing policy language
-
You’re worried about losing everything and don’t know where to turn
We Get It — And We’re Here to Help
Our founder, David Brannen, witnessed firsthand the harm that denied disability benefits can cause. As a child, he watched his grandfather be denied a workplace disability claim — an experience that ultimately inspired him to become a lawyer focused on helping others avoid the same hardship.
David is also a former licensed occupational therapist, which means he brings a rare and valuable understanding of both the medical and legal sides of disability law.

Testimonials
What Our Clients Are Saying
-
You never want to have to hire a law firm, but if you do find yourself needing one this is the one to hire. Their customer service and willingness to take the time to explain the process are exceptional! I can’t thank Dave and his team enough!

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!
