YEISER V. DYSART, 267 U. S. 540 (1925)
Yeiser v. Dysart, 267 U.S. 540 (1925)
Yeiser v. Dysart
Submitted October 24, 1924
267 U.S. 540
Upon a report of the respondents, a committee of members of the bar, the plaintiff in error was ordered to be suspended from the right to practice as attorney unless he should refund to a client a fee received by him of $620 and interest within a time fixed. The ground of the order was that, by § 3031, Comp. St.1922, only such sum could be demanded for services in bringing a suit under the Workmen's Compensation Act of the state as the court

should allow, and that a contract for other and further pay was void. The supreme court of the state, while crediting the plaintiff in error with an honest belief that the statute had a narrower meaning, made the order complained of, and the case is brought here on a contention that the statute, as construed, unreasonably restricts the liberty of contract and contravenes the Fourteenth Amendment by depriving the plaintiff in error of his liberty and property without due process of law.
