“Congress recognized the increasingly sophisticated nature of bankruptcy cases. To efficiently resolve bankruptcy cases, an attorney must know commercial law, contract law, tax law, and oftentimes employment law, pension law, and securities law. The proficient bankruptcy attorney must be an able negotiator and trial lawyer, should negotiations fail. In this circuit, lodestar analysis regulates compensation of bankruptcy professionals. Boddy v. United States Bankruptcy Court, 950 F.2d 334 , 334 (6th Cir.1991). The lodestar method directs a court to multiply the reasonable hourly rate by the hours reasonably expended in performance of actual and necessary services. Id. A reasonable hourly rate should be determined based on “the amount involved, customary fees, the level of skill required, reputation of the applicant, time limitation, whether the fee is contingent or fixed, and the case’s undesirable aspects, if any.” In re Crabtree, 45 B.R. 463 (Bankr.E.D.Tenn.1984); In re Boddy, 950 F.2d at 337; In re Southern Industrial Banking Corp., 41 B.R. 606 (Bankr.E.D.Tenn.1984).”
