Serving Calgary and All of Alberta With Virtual Legal Help
When serious illness or injury makes it impossible to work, long-term disability benefits should provide stability. But insurance companies often deny or cut off claims unfairly — leaving you in financial and emotional turmoil. At the same time, your employer might start pressuring you to return to work or questioning your job status.
At Resolute Employment & Disability Lawyers, we help people in Calgary and across Alberta resolve complex legal challenges related to long-term disability, CPP Disability, and employment issues. We offer 100% virtual service by phone, Zoom, and secure online platforms — so you can access high-quality legal help from anywhere.
We Understand The Struggles You’re Facing
We regularly help clients from Calgary who are:
- Shocked by a denial letter after following all the insurer’s steps
- Struggling to make ends meet after a sudden benefits termination
- Receiving mixed messages from their employer, doctor, and insurer
- Feeling dismissed, disbelieved, or pressured to return to work too soon
- Unsure of their legal rights or next steps
We Get It — And We’re Here to Help
Our founding lawyer, David Brannen, has been where you are. As a child, he watched his grandfather go through a wrongful termination and a denied disability claim. That experience led him to become both an occupational therapist and later a disability and employment lawyer.
David is the lawyer who leads our Alberta practice. With a deep understanding of the medical, insurance, and workplace systems, he and our team help clients throughout the province fight back and rebuild.
How Our Calgary Disability Lawyers Help
- Denied Claims – Appeals and Legal Action: We move quickly to challenge denied claims through appeals, negotiations, or lawsuits.
- Terminated Benefits – Reinstatement or Settlement: If your insurer says you’re no longer disabled, we’ll help you prove otherwise or negotiate a fair lump sum settlement.
- Early Warnings – Proactive Legal Strategy: If your insurer is requesting assessments or hinting at closure, we help you act before it’s too late.

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.

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!
