Hello-
I live in FL so it may differ by state.
Does anyone know if I should contact my lawyer to request an extension on my community service or should I contact the court directly or should I go through my probation officer. I am supposed to have completed 100 hours by Dec 10th and I know I am not going to have it done so I am trying to get it extended.

100 hours by December 10th? That's 9 weeks from now. Do 11 hours a week and you're basically there. That's most of the day Saturday and an hour or two elsewhere during the week. In the eyes of any court, you are going to be seen as entirely capable of doing this, especially as I highly doubt that you were assigned this service today.
I can't think of anything that should prevent you from doing this. You are under a court order to do something, and the court is going to assume that pretty much nothing in your life can't be rescheduled to ensure your compliance, especially this far in advance.
Get to work.

This not my area of expertise, but, I would first talk with the Probation Officer. He/She will be the moderator between you and the court. As long as they work with you they will cover for you.

Alot of states are not giving out extentions anymore because people are failing to do there community service but call this charity they can help you even if you are due the same day i trully trust this charity they are great
There is a legal Charity Called Uplifting Kids they help people all over the world they are a 501c3 Noprofit that help people that have last minute or current hours to complete either before going to jail or the due date or after there due date, this organization was soooo great they helped my brother and my cousin out all they had to do is make donation to the charity for the hours they were do so my cousin had 8 hours to do so he paid them $80.00 so its ten dollars for every hour, also they did an overnight because he was about to go to jail it was pretty costly but it was well worth it same thing for my cousin that lived in another state they helped her out to and kept her from going to jail they mailed a letterhead out to her address for her to bring to court or rather give to her attorney and she never had any issues anymore she and my brother was soo happy they are the only charity i know thats out there they can help you , you cant complete hours online its not legal to that and this charity verified my family hours , its not worth getting locked up call this charity they are even open on the weekends as well, they are legal i verified them with the irs for charities and i verified there ein number before my brother made a donation, this charity is very nice and they do alot of great things for kids and the community so why not pay off your hours instead of going to jail , and they help out with school hours I'm in college and i had to get some hours done and they helped me with that of course all of this took place at different times but we remember this charity so everytime we was in a jam we used them and the outcome was great and legal , remember they do overnight for your court or school papers its an extra charge to expedite it to you and an extra charge for overnight they will call you with a tracking number this charity is great man they got all kinds of programs that can help you in your situation you can also fundraise off your hours and do a fundraise just give them a call i see alot of people on here that need help and rather then them call the charity to find out what they can do they end up going to jail hoping for an extenstion and that dont happen that often because my brother almost went to jail for not doing his community service hours the charity contact information is upliftingkids.org there phone number is 1-855-581-9111 ask to speak to the person that handles community service hours or school hours. They work with any kind of hours school hours, community service court hours it dont matter give them a call again there open on the weekends make sure you have your school infomation ready or your court information ready with a case or docket number because they can't do anything to help you unless you have that give them a call today Good Luck!!! I wouldn't trust no other charity but this one the other ones were flaky i didnt like them.
