Serving Kitchener and Surrounding Areas With Virtual Legal Support
When you’re too sick or injured to work, long-term disability benefits are supposed to provide stability. But insurance companies often deny valid claims, cut off benefits early, or delay decisions until it’s too late to recover. On top of that, your employer may be pressuring you to return or threatening termination.
At Resolute Employment & Disability Lawyers, we help people in Kitchener and across Ontario win long-term disability claims, challenge unfair denials, and coordinate related CPP Disability and employment law issues — all through virtual legal service by phone, Zoom, and secure online platforms.
You don’t need to drive to Toronto or Ottawa to get help. We bring the legal expertise to you — wherever you are in Ontario.
We Understand The Struggles You’re Facing
We regularly help clients from Barrie who are:
- Their LTD claim is denied or cut off without warning
- They feel overwhelmed by appeal deadlines and forms
- Their employer is demanding a return to work or threatening termination
- Their LTD and CPP Disability claims are colliding
- They’re afraid of losing their home or not being able to support their family
We Get It — And We’re Here to Help
Our firm was founded by David Brannen, a former licensed occupational therapist who became a lawyer after witnessing a family member lose everything due to a denied disability claim and wrongful dismissal. That experience drives our team’s mission: to protect everyday people from being taken advantage of by powerful insurance companies and employers.
David and Lisette Leblanc, both experienced disability lawyers, represent our clients throughout Ontario — including in Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, and surrounding communities.

Testimonials
What our 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!
