sworn (or duly sworn) expert or recognized expert
Or: expert under oath
I believe you may use David's answer (or moy "recognized expert") in some contexts, but not in others.
If the expert is in court and has been sworn, he/she is a sworn expert or an expert under oath.
If the expert has not been expressly sworn to tell the truth, it might be better to translate "beeidigt" (which means "sworn") as recognized or highly recognized.

Accredited expert
IMO is certainly the correct translation; I'd say the term "sworn translator" woulb be FAR better replaced by "accredited translator" - they both have to undergo investigation, or test, or have qualifications, don't they...

legally sworn expert or authorized expert
I agree with Fred that the use of "sworn" depends on the context. If it applies, then "legally sworn expert" is also a possibility. If not, then possibibly:
authorized expert
official expert
certified expert
authorized expert
official expert
