The most useful starting point for determining the amount of a
      reasonable fee is the number of hours reasonably expended on the
      litigation multiplied by a reasonable hourly rate. This calculation
      provides an objective basis on which to make an initial estimate of the
      value of a lawyer’s services. The party seeking an award of fees should
      submit evidence supporting the hours worked and rates claimed. Where
      the documentation of hours is inadequate, the district court may reduce
      the award accordingly.
