DWI charges rarely come alone. Sometimes they come bundled with traffic tickets like Unsafe Lane Change or Speed in Zone. In the worst cases, they can come with Vehicular Manslaughter charges, carrying sentences of up to 15 years or longer (for persistent felony offenders).

I have seen multiple cases where a client was charged with DWAI Drugs because their blood contained inactive THC metabolites. In other words, if you smoked marijuana on Wednesday, you won't be high or even remotely under the influence by Friday, but the District Attorney's Office uses the presence of inactive metabolites in your blood to add on charges, thereby increasing the potential penalties, thereby increasing the likelihood that you will take a plea bargain.
