Yes. That is allowed. In fact, with a criminal case the rules allow someone to hire an attorney for any one aspect of the case.
Most people hire a new lawyer to just take over the case when there is a bench warrant. Its often the quickest and most efficient way of resolving the case. Usually its the cheapest way of getting everything resolved as well.
But all cases vary and quite possibly just handling the bench warrant is in the client's best interest.
