Where the claim or judgment is compromised upon the advice or with the approval, <br />tacit or expressed, of client, K&R=s compensation shall be computed on the amount <br />actually recovered and not upon the original debt. K&R acknowledges that City has <br />a lien reduction process in the City's Code that will be followed. <br />10.
