Law/Patents - Law (general) / Court document re: custody decision
German term or phrase: Bedenken
Am I understanding this sentence correctly? Did the specialist A successfully defend objections from specialist B to assessments she had made? Or is this sentence saying something else?

(Vor dem Satz steht:)
Zwar ist das Gutachten der Sachverstaendigen A von der die Kindesmutter betreuenden Dipl.-Psychologin B dezidiert angegriffen worden. Diese Angriffe sind aber nicht geignet, die wesentlichen Kernaussagen des Gutachtens in Zweifel zu ziehen.

(Dann kommt dieser Satz:)
Die Sachverstaendige A hat sich eingehend mit den in ihrer Begutachtung geaeusserten Bedenken auseinandergesetzt und in ueberzeugender und nachvollziehbarer Weise dargelegt, dass ihre gutachtliche Einschaetzung zutreffend ist.

Ich hab's so uebersetzt:
The specialist A has closely examined the objections to her assessmentsand demonstrated in a convincing and comprehensible manner, that her advisory opinion is accurate.

I would go with "concerns" or "issues"


Explanation:
bedenken is sth that you worry about, so i think concern or issue (sth you have problems with) would be a good fit.
