Serving Hamilton and the Greater Golden Horseshoe Area
You’ve done everything right — you’ve worked hard, followed medical advice, and filed for long-term disability when your condition made working impossible. But now the insurance company is denying your claim, cutting off your benefits, or dragging its feet while you’re left in limbo.
At Resolute Employment & Disability Lawyers, we represent clients in Hamilton and surrounding communities, helping them navigate the complex world of disability insurance claims. We don’t have a physical office in Hamilton, but we provide full legal representation virtually, by phone, Zoom, and secure online systems.
We’re here to make sure insurance companies don’t get the last word — and that you get the fair outcome you deserve.
We Understand The Struggles You’re Facing
We regularly help clients from Hamilton who are:
- Frustrated after their LTD claim was denied despite strong medical support
- Financially and emotionally drained from delays or terminations
- Being pressured to return to work before they’re ready
- Unsure how to appeal or negotiate with their insurer
- Concerned about protecting their job, health, and credibility
We Get It — And We’re Here to Help
Our founder, David Brannen, knows exactly how it feels to be denied fair treatment after a disability. As a child, he witnessed his grandfather’s long-term disability claim be unjustly denied — an experience that led him to become both an occupational therapist and then a disability lawyer.
Today, David and the Resolute team help people across Ontario and Canada get the benefits they’ve been unfairly denied — with compassion, skill, and a deep understanding of what’s at stake.

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!
