Underage drinking in PA

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ
My 17 yr old has 2 very recent citations for underage drinking at college in PA. No court date yet. My understanding is the PA Dept of Transp. will suspend his license for 1 yr.
Is this worth hiring a lawyer to fight? He was clearly in the wrong both times (and yes, he will start counseling this week so please save the lectures...legal advice only thank you)
2nd question-does the fact he is a juvenile help or protect his records at all?

Also any idea how this may effect our already outrageous insurance costs (NJ is awful!)

If he doesn't have a PA license, then the PA DOT can't suspend it. I'm unsure if the NJ DOT will suspend his license based on a PA conviction. It's my understanding that the two states do not share information regarding traffic tickets (a ticket that gives you points in PA won't affect an NJ license), but that's only traffic tickets, not criminal offenses. He should certainly talk to a lawyer before pleading guilty to anything.
