If your long-term disability (LTD) claim has been denied or terminated, you may be feeling helpless, disrespected, and unsure where to turn. Insurance companies make the process complicated on purpose — and far too many people in Halifax are unfairly denied benefits they rightfully deserve.
At Resolute Employment & Disability Lawyers, we focus entirely on disability and employment law. We offer compassionate legal help to people across Halifax and the surrounding region — and we make it easy to get started with virtual consultations, no-win-no-fee agreements, and a 30-day satisfaction guarantee.
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, grew up in Nova Scotia and knows firsthand how painful it is to see a loved one’s disability claim denied. As a child, he watched his grandfather be unfairly denied workplace compensation — an experience that shaped his life and inspired his mission to help others avoid the same injustice.
David is also a former licensed occupational therapist, which gives him rare insight into both the medical and legal sides of disability claims. That insight is woven into everything we do.

Testimonials
What Our Clients Are Saying
.
-
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!
