Pros
Pro Really good touch controls
For a game with fighting mechanics and many moves the touch screen controls actually work really well. Much as one would hold a controller the left hand controls movement including a jump and the right allows for punching, kicking, stomping and a combo of using both thumbs to do jumping attacks.
Pro Great sense of humor
A fist that talks, stripper bears, constantly breaking the fourth wall are all thing to be found in this game. There is an enjoyable sense of humor to be found that makes the game stand out from most beat em ups.
Pro Polished writing with a great sense of humor that should amuse just about anyone
Both the comedic writing and delivery are top notch. Not only that, the gameplay elements reinforce the absurdity of the presentation - "Credibility" instead of HP, moves like Swagger or Epic Speech and "pimping" your apartment for stat boosts.
Pro Unique turn-based gameplay that offers a rarely seen look into an imaginary world of lawyers
You take turns choosing from a select set of skills, such as Mesmerize, Ego boost, Tamper with Evidence, etc to get rid of witnesses, evidence, and prosecutors. This makes for a unique twist on turn-based gameplay, setting the skills in the lawyer world of showmanship.

Once one figures out the timing and best maneuvers the core of the fighting can feel repetitive and gets boring.
Con Short game
Devil's Attorney is a pretty short game as it can be beaten in 4 hours or less, making for a game that may not last more than one playthrough.
