SAS es una empresa seria, responsable y profundamente comprometida. Personalmente, me sentí excepcionalmente acompañado y asesorado durante el proceso de certificación de ascendencia sefardí, una etapa en la que surgieron varias dificultades para encontrar la documentación de mis antepasados. SAS hizo esfuerzos extraordinarios para solucionar el problema, moviendo cielo y tierra. La amabilidad y la paciencia del personal fueron impresionantes en todo momento. Recomiendo mucho dejarse guiar por sus profesionales, ya que sin duda estarán en las mejores manos.
