If your long-term disability (LTD) claim has been denied, delayed, or prematurely terminated, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to take on your insurance company alone. Our Ottawa Long-Term Disability Lawyers help people across Eastern Ontario fight back and get the benefits they deserve.
At Resolute Employment & Disability Lawyers, we offer full legal representation to disability claimants at every stage — from application to appeal to lawsuit. We serve clients through virtual consultations by phone or Zoom, and we have a lawyer based in Ottawa who understands the local landscape and supports clients across the region.
We Understand The Struggles You’re Facing
If you’ve been denied LTD benefits, you may be:
- Worried about how to pay your bills
- Frustrated by confusing paperwork or insurance red tape
- Pressured to return to work before you’re medically ready
- Dismissed by your insurer or employer
- Unsure what your options are or who to trust
We Get It — And We’re Here to Help
Our firm’s founder, David Brannen, became a disability lawyer after witnessing the injustice his own family faced when his grandfather was denied compensation for a workplace injury. That experience shaped his mission — to help people navigate a legal system that doesn’t always play fair.
Our Ottawa-based lawyer and national team now help people across Eastern Ontario challenge insurance denials, protect their income, and reclaim peace of mind.

Testimonials
What our Ottawa 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.
Alain Fakhoury

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!
