If your long-term disability (LTD) claim has been denied or cut off, you may feel stuck, dismissed, or overwhelmed. You know you’re unable to work — but the insurance company refuses to listen. You’re not sure how to fight back, or even where to start.
At Resolute Employment & Disability Lawyers, we represent people across Toronto and the GTA in long-term disability insurance claims. We focus exclusively on disability and employment law and offer remote consultations by phone or Zoom, so you don’t have to travel or deal with in-person meetings.
We Understand The Struggles You’re Facing
When your LTD claim is denied, the consequences can be life-altering:
- You’re worried about how you’ll pay the bills
- You’re struggling to understand confusing insurance letters
- You feel pressure to return to work before you’re ready
- You’re overwhelmed by paperwork and deadlines
- You don’t know where to turn or who to trust
We Get It — And We’re Here to Help
Our firm’s founder, David Brannen, created Resolute after witnessing how unfair the system can be. As a child, he saw his grandfather denied disability compensation — an experience that inspired his legal career.
David has since become one of Canada’s leading voices in disability law — and he built this firm to help everyday people like you fight back against insurers and reclaim financial stability.

Testimonials
What our Toronto Clients Say
-
After being denied LTD benefits twice, Resolute Legal helped me obtain my LTD benefits that should have been awarded initially by my group health insurance provider. They are excellent and specialized at what they do and they have experience on both sides of a disability situation. They are also national in scope, so no matter where you live in Canada, they can represent you. I could not have received my disability benefits without them. If you are in a situation where your LTD benefits have been denied by your group health insurance provider, please contact them.

I was advised by a family member to reach out to Resolute Legal and it was the best decision I made. I only wish I had made it even sooner. I’m sure that without a great lawyer standing with me I would still be waiting for LTD settlement. I can’t say enough about the staff they have working for them as well and then I had the pleasure of speaking to the owner when my case was over. Fantastic job.

We felt we were in good hands right from the start. The only thing I regret was not contacting them sooner. I strongly advised anyone needing help with their disability claim to consult with them first, they are very knowledgeable and professional, I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Stephane Duguay
-
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!
