- You’ve received a severance offer with a short deadline

We Get It – And We’re Here to Help
We understand how devastating it can be to lose financial stability due to wrongful termination or denial of disability benefits. Our founder, David Brannen, lived through this hardship as a child when his grandfather was denied compensation for a workplace injury.
That experience shaped David’s life and inspired his mission to help others avoid the same injustice. It taught him a powerful lesson: being right isn’t enough — you need to know how to fight back.
Everything we do is built around helping people like you stand up to powerful insurance companies and employers, so they can’t take advantage of everyday people. We see the human side of every case — and we never forget what’s at stake.
Meet Your Halifax Lawyer
At Resolute Employment & Disability Lawyers, all Halifax clients work directly with our founding lawyer, David Brannen. With over 20 years of experience in disability and employment law, David is nationally recognized for helping individuals navigate complex legal battles with insurance companies and employers.
Before becoming a lawyer, David worked as a licensed occupational therapist—a unique background that gives him a deep understanding of both the legal and medical aspects of disability claims. He brings personal insight to every case, having experienced the impact of disability claim denials and wrongful termination within his own family.
David is also the author of several books on disability law and a trusted advocate for people across Canada.
“I know what it’s like to fight for what’s right. That’s why I’ve dedicated my career to helping people get the support they deserve.” – David Brannen

What our Halifax and Nova Scotia Clients Are Saying
-
I am very pleased with the service I received at Resolute Legal. Everybody was so kind, empathetic, compassionate and professional. So many times lately I feel like just a number with businesses but always felt like I mattered and couldn’t believe how nice I was treated, particularly by David Brannen. I would recommend this firm to anyone!

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

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 is exceptional! I can’t thank Dave and his team enough!
Marta Charter
-
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!
