If the juvenile wants an attorney, one will probably be appointed for him by the court if he requests one. Here in Indiana, juveniles can get an attorney appointed for them for offenses in juvenile court without having to prove financial ability.
Depending on the state where this offense occurred, the juvenile will probably get 3-6 months probation, community service, attendance at an alcohol/drug education class, and possibly other terms.

If it's his first offense, likely he will have suspended jail time, a fine, and some classes and he'll get that with or without a lawyer. If it's not his first, then yes I'd say get a lawyer.
