If your long-term disability (LTD) benefits have been denied, delayed, or unfairly terminated, you’re likely dealing with more than just paperwork — you’re dealing with financial stress, confusion, and a fight you never expected to face. At Resolute Employment & Disability Lawyers, we represent clients across Ontario in challenging insurance companies and getting their lives back on track.
With offices in Toronto and Ottawa, and legal consultations available remotely by phone or Zoom, we make it easy to get help — no matter where you live in the province.
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 insurer has denied or stopped your LTD benefits
- You’re worried about running out of money or losing your home
- You feel like no one believes how serious your condition is
- You’re overwhelmed by deadlines, medical forms, or appeal requirements
- You’re exhausted — and unsure where to start
We Get It — And We’re Here to Help
Our founder, David Brannen, understands the pain of a denied disability claim — because he lived it. As a child, he watched a family member be unfairly denied compensation after a workplace injury, an experience that inspired him to become a lawyer and protect others from going through the same thing.
Today, David leads a national firm that focuses solely on disability and employment law. He and lawyer Lisette Leblanc provide compassionate, knowledgeable legal representation for people in Ontario who need someone in their corner.

What Our OntarioClients 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!
